Description
Cornish greenland waterproofing wax, handmade in Cornwall.
New, bigger 100-gramme bars
In a ziplock bag and a handy canvas pocket-sized bag in dark olive.
All ingredients are natural and sourced from the UK.
All wax bars and bags made in a workshop in Cornwall.
As you can see from the pictures, these bars of Cornish waterproofing wax are very yellow; this is because they are made with a whole bar of 100% pure beeswax and pure paraffin wax.
Step 1: APPLY
Hold the block of Cornish Greenland Wax in your hand, and apply a thin, even layer by rubbing in long strokes against the face of the fabric. Make sure all areas of the fabric are well covered.
Step 2: HEAT
Using an iron on low to medium heat and without steam, slowly melt the wax into the fabric. Don’t forget to wipe the iron clean before using it on another garment. A hairdryer or hot air gun can also be used for melting the wax. Cornish Greenland Wax melts at approximately 55°C to 60°C, which is 131°F to 140°F.
Step 3: REPEAT
For additional water resistance or to better reinforce high-friction points, apply several layers of Cornish Greenland wax instead of one single thick layer to areas such as knees, shoulders, the hood, and the rear.
Areas to Wax
A. An additional layer of wax applied to the knees and rear of your trousers will provide extra protection when kneeling or sitting.
B. The front, shoulders, and hood of a trekking jacket can be waxed. However, the back should be left without wax to allow heat and moisture to escape from underneath a backpack.
C. Avoid wetness from hiking in high grass or morning dew by waxing below the knees.
D. Long parkas with an extended back panel can benefit from an additional layer of wax—this will help keep you dry when sitting on wet surfaces.
Made from 100% natural materials (beeswax, paraffin wax)
