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!

Ok so this lil brick o wax has surpassed my expectations….I got a good base layer on the entirety of my pants w a 1/4 of it left..! Well done, and it feels nice on my hands.
However, I also live in Portland, Oregon where it rains for months at a time. This year, the rains came late and I hadn't done my usual yearly routine of water proofing my gear like I should've.
I got caught out hiking with my jacket and was utterly drenched, the jacket's factory waterproofing long since wore off.
So, I used Fjallraven Greenland Wax's large bar.
If you have large hands, get the large bar. You won't use it all in one sitting, but it'll be easier on your hands.
I heavily rubbed the bar into jacket, then used a heat gun to melt the wax into the jacket.
I then did a second coat and just threw it into a laundromat's dryer on low for a short period.
It did darken and stiffen the material a bit, but it also gave it (IMHO) a better look.
I've worn it in two heavy rainfalls and several misty/drizzly nights since. The water beaded excellently.
Right now, my jacket is repelling water BETTER than my goretex rain coats (HOWEVER, the goretex still breathes better when it's not raining).
I don't know how long the weatherproofing will work for, I'm expecting/hoping it'll last the season (similar to my goretex products)
I bought a second blue cap on amazon and it had minimal wax coating. I wanted the heavier finish so I bought the wax.
The wax application process is primitive. You rub the wax bar over the fabric as if it were a bar a soap. I didnt use a hair dryer, which was the factory suggestion.
I coated the hat in wax, heated my oven to 180, left the door open and through the hat in. The oven wasnt hot enough so I closed the door for two minutes.
That worked. The wax melts and absorbs into the fabric, deepening the color and giving it a unique texture. I have been stopped in airports, on the street, and in stores, where people have asked, "where did you get the hat?"
