FjällrävenGreenland Wax

I had some waxed canvas and had already made one canvas bag with it but doe some reason, even though the fabric looked perfectly fine when the time came to make the second one, for some reason over night it had started to look spotty as per ‘before’ image. I don’t know if it was due to the sunshine through the window of my craft room but I needed to try something to improve it as u guessed it was the wax drying out.I did some research online and this brand came up as recommended so I wanted to give it a go. I wanted wax treatment that was straightforward to apply and this certainly is. It says to use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris but as I was using new fabric, I omitted that step and went straight in to applying the wax.It looks like a bar of near transparent soap and I had expected to get through it quickly. I followed the instructions and applied by rubbing the bar evenly across the fabric (which was a bag at this point) and used my hairdryer to cure it. I loved how the wax seemed to disappear into thr fabric. It took a lot of layers but wow…there was a lovely difference…the colour and the texture of the fabric changed. You have to be very patient and keep applying until you get the result you want.The bag is now waterproof again and a richer colour. Sadly it doesn’t look glassy like the fabric did when purchased but I’m guessing a different method/wax wails have been used to get that effect.For a bag, I am very happy with the result and it would have taken just a couple of hours to get to this stage but I did it in intervals and even the next morning to top it up. There is no odour from it which is good.I have researched but cannot find another way to get the sheen…someone said to buff it up afterward but I’m not sure how to do that. However, absolutely really impressed and it barely used any of the bar of wax at all…still left with plenty.The price of this bar seemed a lot as I had imagined it wouldn’t go far but as I said, there is loads left after doing lots of layers in the bag which for me, makes it great value.

Very easy to use! Does not alter the colour! Top stuff 👍👍

Excellent for waterproofing, I've been using this for years. It does take some time and if you are patient, then your coats, rucksacks will be protected for years.

Good water resistant. Very useful on combat trousers and jeans, makes them much better quality. Easy to use but hard work. Used it for my tench coat too. Very Good. Best used on cotton fabric. Goes quite a long way for a small bar. Magic! Wax. Very happy that you.

Good sized bar easy to use and didn’t make as much mess as the wax u melt and apply wet.. Good waterproof stuff used on suede boots, Results darker suede but looks much better and waterproof now.

Love this wax. Works perfectly well on the Fjall trousers, and there is something about waxing and looking after the trousers that makes me feel better.

Not sure how waterproof this will make the canvass panniers, I tried 1 coat and water just soaked right in when I tested it, maybe I didn't put it on thick enough. Easy enough to apply anyway and kept me busy for an hour 👍

Actually appears to work well & does slightly stiffen floppy fabric a little bit more.
