100% NATURAL FABRIC WAX
Waxed cotton canvas is old-school! It's been the preferred method of water-proofing and protecting fabrics such as sails, clothing and luggage for hundreds of years. Grandad Jack's Sack Wax is made from 100% natural beeswax and organic vegetable oils. It's non-toxic as well as anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
Grandad Jack's Fabric Wax is multi purpose it will help you in the following ways:
- Creates a water-resistant surface against moisture and rain whilst still allowing natural fabrics to breath
- Binds fabric fibres together to make treated materials more resilient and less susceptible to weave separation
- Protects against fungus and bacteria
- Adds a weathered patina to items
- Sack Wax is biodegradable and contains zero petrochemicals
Use Granddad Jack's Sax Wax on any natural fibered items including the following:
- Jacket's
- Trousers
- Hats
- Tents
- Bags and luggage
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
- Empty the bag or garment to be waterproofed.
- Dry and brush off to remove loose soil and dust.
- Lay the item flat on a hard surface and rub the Sack Wax across the fabric fibres. The idea is to get an even covering across the surface.
- Ensure that wax is getting into vulnerable spaces like seams and joins. I don't recommend waxing the inside of the item.
- Apply to the whole bag or garment at once, or in sections.
- Rub the wax into the fibres using your hands - especially finger tips - in a rapid motion (causing friction heat) or use a hairdryer or heat gun to melt the wax directly onto the surface. Evenly distribute softened wax across the entire item.
- Apply evenly then allow it to dry off. The item may be slightly tacky for a day or so.
- If you don't want to see any white wax when you are finished wait for the wax to harden after a few minutes and hit these areas again with the heat source. Sometimes you might want to wait 2-3 days and then re-heat and rub down the bag.
- Natural beeswax will evaporate and biodegrade naturally especially in warmer climates. On average, you probably only need to re-wax once a year but you can re-treat as often as needed or desired.
