I've tried my hand at waxing canvas. However, I did have the advantage of waxing it while it was still a flat piece of fabric instead of being sewn up into something more useful. Nevertheless, I believe my method should be still applicable to bags and such without too many nooks and crannies.
Before applying the beeswax, I heat up the fabric first. You can use either a small iron (like those portable ones) or a 1.5 kW hairdryer. Once the fabric is warmed up, I quickly rub a small block of beeswax over the heated area. Do small areas at a time. Heat can be further applied to help the beeswax permeate the fabric. My method also do not require a spousal-alert because the iron and hairdryer are both unaffected by this exercise and can be returned to normal duty without so much as a wipe. newenglandbike is right. Using beeswax make the thing smell like flowers! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
