Review: Works great, it is hard to apply.... - You have enough time with a brush to get the wax on to the garment, and a little spreading, but it will harden fairly quickly. A few pointers, warm the garment (about 10 minutes in the dryer), use a heat gun (this will be better than a hairdryer), keep the area you are working on, warm, wiht the heat gun. Keep the brush warm with the heat gun. Spread and spread and spread. Use your hands (they'll wash right up with Dawn dish detergent), spread and spread. Use the heat gun and get as much of the wax in the garment as possible. Stand back and say - "WOW, that looks like crap!" Now, put it in the dryer for about 30 minutes. (be sure to dry a load or two of towels after this). Now - stand back and admire your work. It will come out great. Just spreading the wax on the garment is going to take a good 90 minutes, probably more. Trying to get the wax to soak in with a heat gun will take forever. Drying it in the dryer for 30 minutes - that takes about 30 minutes and really spreads the wax out nice and even. The garment I did (a surplus OD Green field jacket) took the wax pretty well, but it was still too thick. I dried it for about 15 minutes, then turned everything inside out, did another 15 minutes and it looks great.
Review: Pretty good - I used this to wax a brand new lighter weight inexpensive solid matte black coloured cotton jacket. I was hoping for water resistance and a nice even subtle silky black appearance maybe something like a Barbour though if it looked more like a Filson that would be fine too. Took a while for me to get the wax melted in the pot of water, probably would have been better on a gas stove, rather than electric, as the heat would have been even that way. Used a meat thermometer that I held with the probe off the bottom of the pot to ensure proper 180 degree water temperature. I applied the wax from the can still in the pot being heated on the stove to the coat a foot or so away with a new paint brush. It solidifies quick. I was rushing things a little and just quickly slopped on the wax to cover everything. the entire coat took the full can, though no more. I let it rest a few minutes then got out the hair dryer and used it to melt the wax until it was soft and then worked it in with a wooden shim that I had sanded down and rounded off. Made sure to work the wax into the seams, pocket pleats, and moved it around from areas that had been more heavily coated to those that were less heavily coated. Had lots of crumbs of wax that had blown off stuck to the side of the coat that was down on the tarp last. Flipped the tarp over, put the coat back down and began to melt the wax on the coat again and as I did I thoroughly and spread it around with a wad of old freshly laundered cotton T shirt. Certain areas like the top pocket covers looked good, like I was hoping the whole coat would turn out. Even the fabric on the chest above this looked like that, at the time. Did the whole coat like this. Beginning to end took about 4.5 hours. Then I hung it up to cure and let it set there for 72 hours. Only after that did I put it on. As soon as the fabric flexes it gets pretty chalky looking. Again the material above the top pocket flaps looked exactly like them and then that material flexed a little and turned a chalky grey. It's not the aesthetic I was going for and I'm not super happy with it, but OK it's not awful. My wife thinks it's awful, though, whetev. Stood out in the pouring rain with it today for 10 minutes. Watched the water sheet right off the whole time. I stayed completely dry. So it seems to have achieved the level of water resistance that I had hoped for. That is great! Very satisfied there. I'm thinking the aesthetic I desired is achievable, though I probably should have taken more time and watched the companies instructional video once or twice more as I was doing it. Also not having a needy 4 yo and 9 month old in my immediate care while I was doing it probably would have helped a lot. I'm guessing I over applied the wax and should have taken time to work each paintbrush application into the fabric as I went rather than brushing the wax on everywhere quickly and then melting it in and moving it around. I probably could have used 3/4 can and achieved a more even factory looking finish. I'm not worried about this as the item functions and the wax will need to be touched up re-applied in a year or so at which time I'll have another chance to make it look more like what I had wanted. I may try the bar for that touch up. So long review, in the end i'm very satisfied and would recommend the product. All in, jacket and wax, I've spent $42 and have a fall/spring coat that is durable and usable with some character and that I'll change the appearance of in a year or two when re-waxing; I'm putting this one in the win column.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between this and the bar form? Any difference in ingredients?**
A: Our Wax Bars are excellent for one-sided waxing because it creates a seal on the top layer of the fabric. It's ideal for hats, shoes, and gloves, where you wouldn't want waxed fabric in direct contact with your skin. Our bars are also great for quickly re-proofing factory waxed and oiled garments. Our Fabric Dressing is melted down when applied, thus permeating deeper into the fabric and yielding a more factory-waxed appearance. This is ideal for multi-layered coats and jackets, or for re-proofing factory-oiled fabrics.

**Q: What are the exact ingredients?**
A: This all I've found, "natural ingredients including the highest quality beeswax and our proprietary blend of plant-based waxes and oils."

**Q: I have of Dickie canvas pants and would like to make them into a pair of tin pants.  Will this work?  If yes how many cans would it take?**
A: Our Fabric Wax and Fabric Dressing will work on most any type of fabric. Because our wax is made from all-natural ingredients, it will generally bond best with natural fibers (cotton, hemp, etc., however it is also very effective on blended fabrics where the proportion of natural fiber to synthetic is in the majority. 

Depending on the size of the pants I'd recommend three or four tins for untreated fabric. On our website there is a 15% discount on a three pack and free shipping over $40.00.

**Q: Can this be used on a crushable felt hat?**
A: I don't think it would be a good idea.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Cheapest Alternative (But Time Consuming and Messy)
*by A***S on August 22, 2016*

Bought this to reproof my Barbour before autumn rolls in. This is a $15 cheaper than the wax that Barbour sells which allows you to proof it yourself. Their service to wax it for you costs around $50 including shipping etc. Just to give an idea of how much cheaper this is. Thoughts: I read the reviews before and melted the wax down with warm water, used a small old towel that I didn't mine ruining, and a blowdryer. Melting the wax isn't really worth it honestly. I started by dipping the cloth, then quickly transferring it to my coat. The problem is that unless the wax is piping hot it quickly hardens causing a mess. What I would end up doing was dipping the cloth, quickly rubbing it into the coat with one hand and heating the area I was proofing with the blowdryer. This worked for a while, but as the wax cooled I had a different approach because the freneticism was exhausting. I found that using my hands was messy, but worth it. I would grab a chunk of semi-hard wax, rub it all over the area I wanted to proof and then heat the area with the blowdryer till I saw the wax melting, then spread/work it into the fabric with my hand and the old towel. After about an hour and a half the coat was reproofed (this including going over certain parts two or three times and remelting accumulated wax in certain areas). I watched the video Barbour has on their website to get an idea of how to go through with the progress. I started with the back, then the collar, then the sleeves, then the front. My Barbour looks shiny and new with the reproofing, so I'm happy with the process and the product. All in all though know that it is messy and time consuming. I had to vacuum after because there were so many small pieces of wax all over my living room (bad choice of location honestly). Next time I think I'd honestly bite the bullet and spend the $50 to have Barbour do it but it is totally possible to do it oneself.
