OtterWax Heat Activated Fabric Dressing : 100% Natural Waterproofing Wax

Used this on an army smock to try to get a Fjallraven type Greenland wax finish. I had already done a couple of coats of greenland wax and it had a good effect, but I had read this stuff was good on some blog so I thouht I would try it out. Almost used a whole can on one coating, it was really hard to apply as it kept drying out. Really unpleasant odour afterward. Also felt rubbish. Do yourself a favour and spend less than half as much on Greenland wax and have it last 4 times longer for a better effect.

I used Barbour wax initially and then tried this Otter..I like both and in my opinion they differ. I did a light weight 100% cotton field jacket with the Barbour and it turned out great, very supple and soft unlike a Filson tin clothe or similar but I probably could have coated it again to get more of a stiff finish..I did another 511 tactical heavy shirt with the Otter and the diff is it goes on thicker brushed and has a lot more of a thick coating before the heat process to impreganate it into the clothe..Another great way to apply it is heat the wax by sticking the heat gun on high right into the top of the can and when it melts a little stick the brush in and paint it on the garment spreading it as you use the heat gun and brush as you wipe off the excess before it dries which is much quicker than putting it all on the stove to melt it completely before applying..When I was finished both gave me excellent results with the Otter somewhat stiffer similar to a Filson finish..I find using a old iron to get this Into the clothe is best on easy to iron clothe then clean up any other spots with a heat gun or hair dryer just don't over do it or it will travel right thorough the clothe to the surface its on..This is a excellent procedure for both..My results were great and it was my first time. I think I'll stick with the Otter for price as you get twice the amount for the same cost and you will use the same per garment. Although the Barbour is easier and melts quicker and is more supple as you will have a hard time to know if the garment is Borboured by its looks and feel as it is soft but waterproof not stiff like Otter..Both are good though and if you don't screw it up you should be satisfied with either, but understand there is a reason you pay the $400 + cost for waxed jackets because they are a choir to do and you are paying for it so save and spend a coupler hours to save a couple hundred and do it to whatever you need to do it to..Up date; the garment I did is super water proof but it really smells and it smells everything else up in the storage. When I hang it in the garage, as soon as I enter it I can smell it a mile away..From now on only hunting clothes..

melts fine with a head gun, but it stinks, the smell becomes unbearable after a while and very hard to get rid of. Had to wash the clothes 3 times to totally get rid of the smell.

When warmed up, it’s easy to apply on fabric. 1 small tub can last about 1 extra large jacket.

Miniature. No where near a "half pint", not even half a cup. More like "100mL" (1/10 pint) I'd estimate. Bought this per reviews expecting a good product and importantly sufficient quantity to re-wax one jacket and other projects. That won't be possible due to deceptive and misleading advertising.--Full refund please.
