BEFORE & AFTER
Medium-weight 12oz canvas treated with Otter Wax Heavy Duty Waterproofing Fabric Wax.
HOW TO APPLY OTTER WAX
CLEAN SURFACE MATERIAL: Ensure that the surface of your fabric or canvas is clean and free of any dirt, dust, or debris. This helps prevent any particles from being sealed in by the wax.
HOW TO APPLY OTTER WAX
CREATE FRICTION: Start with a small area and apply downward pressure. Rubbing the bar back and forth creates friction and helps to warm and soften the wax so that it spreads out evenly. Use the sharp edges of the bar to wax difficult areas such as seams and button holes.
HOW TO APPLY OTTER WAX
SMOOTH TO SEAL: Use your fingers or one of our Wood Smoothing Tools to press wax into surface of canvas for even coverage and water repellency.
HOW TO APPLY OTTER WAX
CURE TIME: Allow your item to cure in a warm, dry place with low humidity for apx. 48~72 hours before use. After curing your item will be ready to use and any remaining tack will subside over time as oils evaporate.

Its really easy to do if a little time consuming. You really need to take your time and get all the seams and cracks . In the instructions they say to just rub the wax on then smooth it with your fingers. I would really recommend using a hair dryer to melt the wax after you rub it onto the cloth. This seemed to not only make the cotton absorb the wax a bit better but made it look much better too. Much more of a 'factory waxed' look. You can still use your fingers to spread out any parts that look uneven, just be careful because the wax can get really hot. I am guessing this is why they dont recommend this in the official instructions.
I find myself wandering around the house now looking for more things to wax. This wax turned out great. Im definitely going to pick up more so that I can keep my stuff waxed and waterproof.
I put on a heavy coat of wax (probably to heavy) section by section on the jacket. It was kind of like coloring with a crayon actually. As I did so I would use my fingers to work the product into the fabric, but it soon became evident that this was going to take FOREVER and I lost patience rubbing it in like I was. So I used a hair dryer. But it didn't seem to work so well and it was going to take just as much time. So, I figured that I would work the wax into the material by how much pressure I used while applying (which is probably why it was to heavy of an application). If I would have stopped there I was have rated the product at 2 stars because of how much of a pain in the butt is was to apply and what it looked like. The wax on my jacket was white, dull, chalkey, and sticky. Not pretty.
But then I had a stroke of common sense. I polish my boots and shoes with a horse hair brush, and shoe polish has a lot of wax in it, so why not do the same with my jacket?
After letting the wax cure for a couple days, I went at it with the stiff horse hair brush. I mean really went at it. The results were awesome. All the white chalkiness and stickiness disapeard and left a beautiful sheen on the jacket. I wore it out last night and my wife kept commenting on how nice it looked. I can already tell its going to age beautifully. It was still a bit tackey but I'm fairly sure that will go away over time with wear. Also it does leave a little bit of wax on whatever you're pressing up against, but I think this was because of my over application and the tackiness of the wax, and should eventually stop.
I did a a waterproof test spraying the jacket with squirt bottle and water beaded right off.
Last thought; the product definitely has an odor, which I would decribe to be a pleasant citrus, pine, earthy, waxy scent.
