Warm the jacket first, either by ironing it or with the hairdryer, then rub the wax over it. Do it in stages, hood first, then shoulders, back, front, and arms, .

[den_bosmens_outdoor]

A tip for waxing the hood and zipper parts: put in an old pillow or something, really works.
As for the waxing, long streaks or ok, better than to colour it like your using a wax crayon.
Another cheap tip: buy pure beeswax and paraffin and for the price of 1 block off Greenland wax you'll make 6 of your own.

[vonsprague]

I'd highly recommend you use Barbour wax or similar, stand the tin in boiling water and apply with a sponge. Believe me you'll get a more even coating and it's a damn sight easier. It also goes on more consistently and makes it more waterproof. Love the humour.

[ajherring]

I got the Särmä windproof smock for Christmas yesterday and gave it a wax after a first wash. Probably going to do a second coat in the areas you mentioned and the tops of the pockets. I used Greenland wax since that's what I had on hand but it it's worked well on previous garments and kit I've had.

[Captain-Donut]

Brilliant review. We all do not know what we are doing
Love it

Love your channel Brother, I waxed an old pair of Levis jeans using Four candles .
Waxing any trousers or jeans make them stiff as ferk but the rain just bounces off !

Au top ce produit, mai comme fjallraven ne dure pas longtemp si c est un vetement journalier, mes tentes j ai melange silicone transparent et white spirit au rouleau et pinceau c est une bache de camion maintenant, je vais essayer sur une vieille veste coton de travail Carhartt au pistolet basse pression

[RSLtreecare]

I see a few of the other comments have outlined this. I have relaxed my old Barber. I heat up the wax, then paint it on...heat it up with the hair dryer...

[escapetherace]

I recommend sno-seal. It's the same stuff but with some chemicals to keep it soft for easy application. It smears in on a warm day with little to no heat and the wax becomes solid again as the softeners evaporate off in a day. In 2-3 days it smells like nothing.
Sno-seal is great and really cheap for a nice container of it.

[carforumwanker]

Put wax in a bowl of some type and warm it up until its fluid. Then using a 4 inch brush apply . It will harden quickly and you can then go over with a heat gun . A lot quicker !

[kristanmartinson]

cant tell you how much I was hoping the dog would eat your wax when you left for the atlas and the dog immediately came in the other door

[KenneyCmusic]

Oh right on heres the waxing video! Perfect

[georgeallen]

can anyone tell me why you wouldn't use vaseline? Ive always kept my work gloves really nice and supple and waterproof with vaseline. Surely you could use it on cotton type fabrics?

[jimf]

So I have the German flektarn parka that I want to do. Same bar of wax that you have. I know it’s not an expensive coat, but it’s a really nice one, in great shape, so I’m a little nervous to do it. I don’t want it to be too waxy, but at the same time, I want an all weather, or at least more weather coat. Should I do it, and will one bar do the job? Oh, and customer service said 3 coats would do the job……oh, and breathability must go close to zero, right?

[JMGeranimo]

How is it holding up? I have a windproof smock I am about to wax using a newer diy formula. I was concerned the fabric seemed lightweight and might wear easy.

[AlanWilton]

Have you tried suspending the jacket over the sink, then let it cup a pool of water...maybe 1/4 cup of water and leave it for 20 30 minutes.
Then try again after a second coat of wax. .and probably a third.
Just a thought.. but i'm finding yu get a one splash proof coat first waxing, then a sort of light shower for maybe 5 minutes second coat and so on untill you actually get 'water proof' all day in a down pour after maybe a kilo of wax has been impregnated...might just be me...but i find splask proof a little but of no actual use.(exstremley anoying tbh..when you've got 8 or more hours to go soaking wet in the fast dry so you'll be warmer fantasy lol)

[LP]

Did you get dark spots from where more wax was put on the anorak? If so, how did you take them out?

[chk]

How does this compare to something like Nikwax spray on?
