Application Guide

Prepare the Fabric:

1. Clean and Dry: Ensure the fabric is free of dirt and completely dry before application.
2. Setup: Lay the fabric on a protected, heat-resistant surface.

Melting the Wax (Using the 10oz Can):

1. Double Boiler Method:
   • Remove the lid from the 10oz can.
   • Place the can in a pot containing enough water to reach halfway up the side. Ensure the water remains below the rim to prevent any water from mixing with the wax.
2. Heat Gently:
   • Bring the water to a gentle simmer over low to medium heat.
   • Stir occasionally with a heat-resistant utensil until the wax is fully melted.
   • Caution: Both the can and wax will be hot. Use heat-resistant gloves or tools to handle the can.
3. Monitor:
   • Do not leave the melting wax unattended.
   • Ensure water does not splash into the wax.

Applying the Wax:

1. Brush Application:
   • Use a natural bristle brush or a clean, lint-free cloth.
   • Dip the brush into the melted wax and apply evenly using smooth, consistent strokes.
   • Work in small sections to ensure full coverage.
2. Alternative Direct Application:
   • Allow the wax to cool slightly until it reaches a soft, spreadable consistency.
   • Scoop a small amount onto a cloth and rub it directly onto the fabric.

Heat Treatment:

1. Set the Wax:
   • After application, gently warm the treated areas with a hair dryer or heat gun set to low.
   • Keep the heat source moving to allow the wax and oils to penetrate the fabric fibers evenly.
   • Caution: Avoid overheating the fabric by keeping the heat source at a safe distance.

Finalize:

1. Cooling: Allow the fabric to cool completely so that the wax sets properly.
2. Inspection: Check for even coverage. Reapply wax to any areas that appear thin.
3. Excess Wax Removal: Wipe away any surplus wax with a clean cloth.
4. Curing Time: For best results, let the fabric rest for several hours or overnight before use to allow the wax to fully bond.
