I happened into waxed denim from an internet purchase of some Levi's. I knew I liked the appearance of the pictures, they didn't say they were waxed, but after receiving them and researching I realized what I had received.I loved the jeans. I also read that most people recommend not washing them. The pair I got was a bit big, so I did wash them once on gentle, no soap, and still the waxed finished faded a bit in some spots, and some typical wear spots also appeared in the crotch area, above my back pocket where I keep my wallet, and along the outside seam down the outsides of the legs. My research on Youtube started about what I had and how to fix it.There were several options and this is the one I settled on. The bar is far smaller than I expected by eyeballing it, but it lasted much longer than I expected. I touched up the entire jeans, front to back, and could probably do so 5 more times with this small bar. That being said, if I order again I will probably order the larger one.The texture (tack) of the jeans I had were already cured. Adding this made them feel more oily and different-- the beeswax content is apparent by the tack. I froze them first to set, and chose not to do the blow dryer because I don't own one, and because I had no "white".Freezing first didn't get rid of the tack for me. So I decided to throw them in the dryer for about 5 minutes on low. This did a great job of sealing and removing the tack and smoothing it out and make it more like what I received originally from Levis.As some other reviewers stated, I couldn't see waxing an entire denim garment with this product. It seems like "dry" denim would take a tremendous amount of this product. I am interested in some of the other soft cream type products meant for this activity and if I try one I will compare it here.Finally, some people remarked about the smell. I consider this an extremely low fragrance product, and any scent that it does have seem very natural. It has an organic smell, not floral and not spicy, more of a muted saddle soap type smell, or a mild shoe cream smell. Maybe a potato-ish, leather-ish smell. The product contains no animal products, and is a mix of bees wax and plant based oils.

5 stars!!! Very pleased with this product! I am a competitive shooter and my bag was starting to loose its grip--this fixed it perfectly! Applied using the instructions. Very easy to use, would definitely purchase again.

I recently used the Otter Wax Fabric Wax Bar to waterproof my canvas jacket, and the results were impressive. The application process was straightforward: I rubbed the wax bar directly onto the fabric, ensuring even coverage, and then used a hairdryer to heat the wax, allowing it to penetrate the material effectively. After letting the jacket cure for 24 hours, it developed a slightly darker, matte finish that enhanced its rugged look. The waterproofing performance has been outstanding, effectively repelling water during light rain showers. While the bar is smaller than expected, a little goes a long way. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this product and plan to use it on other canvas items.

Great sealer, have used on a many zippers! Keeps the water out

Great wax all natural bees wax sealed my stormy wax hat and over night bag.

One bar covered most of a canvas jacket; I would bet there are spots that aren't well covered that will need touching up with a second bar. Where the coverage is good, it works great. Water beads and runs off the canvas. It was dark grey to start with so it doesn't look that different.Something to know though is that the smell is _intense_. Our whole mudroom has a strong piney scent now. It's not terrible when you adjust but makes me a little nauseous when I first walk into the room. I'm going to look for a different product to touch up further.

the bar was easy to use. just rub it gently over the fabric and then rub it in to smooth it out. i used it on a pair of shoes im wearing to ren faire. the water just slides right off of them now. it didn't really change the fabric. its a little darker in spots now, but it fits the look. it makes them look weathered a bit, in a good way. i hung them up in my closet to dry for a few days and there is no more stickiness to them. i only used half a bar on two high tops, sized 9. if you are doing more than 2 pairs, you might need to get more than one bar. i think it's a good value, $10 to waterproof two pairs of high tops, closer to 3 pairs if they aren't. i would recommend this product to other and will buy again. i don't remember if it had a smell as i was putting it on, maybe like beeswax but that was it. it is not a strong smell, once it's dry, it doesn't really smell at all.

Works like it should. Use a heat gun or blow dryer to melt it in. Just rubbing it on will leave wax on everything it touches. Massive discoloration of clothes but didn’t care because they were on work pants.
