## Description

desertcart.com: Otter Wax Heat-Activated Fabric Dressing | 1/2 Pint | All-Natural Water Repellent | Made in USA : Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry

Review: Works great, it is hard to apply.... - You have enough time with a brush to get the wax on to the garment, and a little spreading, but it will harden fairly quickly. A few pointers, warm the garment (about 10 minutes in the dryer), use a heat gun (this will be better than a hairdryer), keep the area you are working on, warm, wiht the heat gun. Keep the brush warm with the heat gun. Spread and spread and spread. Use your hands (they'll wash right up with Dawn dish detergent), spread and spread. Use the heat gun and get as much of the wax in the garment as possible. Stand back and say - "WOW, that looks like crap!" Now, put it in the dryer for about 30 minutes. (be sure to dry a load or two of towels after this). Now - stand back and admire your work. It will come out great. Just spreading the wax on the garment is going to take a good 90 minutes, probably more. Trying to get the wax to soak in with a heat gun will take forever. Drying it in the dryer for 30 minutes - that takes about 30 minutes and really spreads the wax out nice and even. The garment I did (a surplus OD Green field jacket) took the wax pretty well, but it was still too thick. I dried it for about 15 minutes, then turned everything inside out, did another 15 minutes and it looks great.
Review: Great fabric dressing. - Used on brush pants. Great dressing. Works as it should.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between this and the bar form? Any difference in ingredients?**
A: Our Wax Bars are excellent for one-sided waxing because it creates a seal on the top layer of the fabric. It's ideal for hats, shoes, and gloves, where you wouldn't want waxed fabric in direct contact with your skin. Our bars are also great for quickly re-proofing factory waxed and oiled garments. Our Fabric Dressing is melted down when applied, thus permeating deeper into the fabric and yielding a more factory-waxed appearance. This is ideal for multi-layered coats and jackets, or for re-proofing factory-oiled fabrics.

**Q: What are the exact ingredients?**
A: This all I've found, "natural ingredients including the highest quality beeswax and our proprietary blend of plant-based waxes and oils."

**Q: I have of Dickie canvas pants and would like to make them into a pair of tin pants.  Will this work?  If yes how many cans would it take?**
A: Our Fabric Wax and Fabric Dressing will work on most any type of fabric. Because our wax is made from all-natural ingredients, it will generally bond best with natural fibers (cotton, hemp, etc., however it is also very effective on blended fabrics where the proportion of natural fiber to synthetic is in the majority. 

Depending on the size of the pants I'd recommend three or four tins for untreated fabric. On our website there is a 15% discount on a three pack and free shipping over $40.00.

**Q: Can this be used on a crushable felt hat?**
A: I don't think it would be a good idea.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fabric dressing.
*by D***E on December 3, 2025*

Used on brush pants. Great dressing. Works as it should.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Lot Harder To Do Than You Think, But A Lot Nicer Looking Than To Imagined, Too.
*by M***B on July 2, 2025*

Works great but really hard to use. I needed to waterproof a canvas watercolor field bag. I found the perfect one on Amazon for around $40. The trouble is, the cavas was not water resistant at all. The quality and price of the bag were too good to pass on, so I decided to try and waterproof it with this product. It takes forever for the wax to melt…and, then, it goes from milky to clear before you should even think about applying it. I used a stiff 1-1/2” wide paint brush with stiff bristles. I could get, maybe, a 3” section of the bag sort of done and then had to put the brush back in the can to remelt everything and get the wax compound hot enough to go clear again. In any event, the bag tool four hours and looked awful, with missed sections and chunks of unabsorbed wax everywhere. So, the next day, I started rubbing tiny sections with my thumb and fingers. That actually works. As friction heats up the wax, the canvas absorbs it better and you start getting a uniform look….But life isn’t long enough to complete a backpack by that method, so I got out my heat gun. 90 minutes and I had a gorgeous, water proof, waxed canvas watercolor field bag. It’s been a week, now, and I would do this again…..but do yourself a favor and buy or borrow a good heat gun. Use it on low, to where it melts any bits of wax and the canvas absorbs them instantly. Fill in with the wax you scraped off with your wood tool (I used popsicle stick) when first applying the melted wax. Just kind stick it where you want it and melt it into the canvas with the heat gun.
