- Description
With Dr. Gee's protective wax you can easily treat cotton fabrics to make them water repellent. And it's environmentally friendly, because the protective wax contains only beeswax and paraffin. Not only jackets, oilskin coats, outdoor clothing, and children's trousers get a solid rain protection and a more durable surface by impregnation - but also cotton and blended fabrics, from which you can sew bags, hats or tablecloths, and converted into a waxed cotton fabric.
That's it: Rub the wax into the fabric until you have applied a thin and even layer. Then use an iron or hair dryer to melt the wax into the fabric. The more often you repeat this process, the more water repellent the wax will be. Especially if you wash impregnated textiles, you should renew the wax layer from time to time.
