Great value for performance waxing product
So I'll start off by saying if this. If you're looking for a waxy finish on your garment this isn't the product for you. For a more the fashion trend wax look use Otter Wax. If you're looking to water proof and get a little more life out of your clothes this is the product for you.
Quick Wax Guide Overview
Fjallraven Wax- For performance and function, no waxy looking finish
Otter Wax- For waxy looks not for performance or function, no true waterproof seal
Project:
Like I stated above this product is perfect for function and not for that waxy look. I used it on a canvas jacket from Target for my 5 year old son. I wanted a wax that would waterproof the jacket and add some stiffness to the fabric so I can hopefully get two seasons out of it (granted that depends on how quick my son grows). This worked great and when heated into the canvas was not left with a waxy feel.
Application:
Suuuuper super easy to apply. It was a bit time consuming to apply but well worth the outcome. Do not heat it up prior to applying (as some suggested), it causes blotchy spots and will 'stain' fabric (learned that the hard way). Simply draw it on until the garment is almost white, I didn't do it the first time and it left me doing another coat. After that I took my hair dryer and melted it into the fabric and vola! A great waxed canvas coat.
Size:
Some people complained about the size of it but to be honest a little goes a looong way with fabric wax and because this is a performance enhancing wax you're going to pay a little more. I have half of the bar left after two thick coats on a kids jacket which means I have more than enough to wax my husbands canvas bag!
