Ha! Thanks. The "ow" moment was courtesy of a glob o' wax that was in the seam, and it dripped down onto my wrist. Be careful out there folks. And to my eye, the color change using the Filson wax is pretty minimal. The tin I used actually had yellowed slightly since I bought it (a year+ ago), but it didn't make it appreciably different upon application. It does change the reflectancy, of course. And the texture, which stays a bit tacky to the touch for a while. (Today - Monday - after applying Friday evening, the fabric is mostly normal. A little bit sticky where it got on the leather bits.) Both of those will change the perception of the fabric, but it's mostly the same color as when untreated. I'd used this on the N.S. Country Bag to good effect. - J -- Jim Edgar [email protected] Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Send In Your Photos! - Here's how: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "There were messengers who named their bikes, but Chevette never would have done that, and somehow because she did think about it like it was something alive."
