DIRECTIONS FOR USE
- Empty the bag or garment to be treated.
- Dry and brush off to remove loose soil and dust.
- Lay the item flat on a hard surface and rub the Sack Wax across the fabric fibres. The idea is to get an even covering across the surface.
- Ensure that wax is getting into vulnerable spaces like seams and joins. We don't recommend waxing the inside of the item. Rub the wax into the fibres using your hands - especially finger tips -or a tool such as a silicon spatula.
- Apply to the whole bag or garment at once, or in sections.
- Use a hairdryer or heat gun to melt the wax directly onto the surface. Evenly distribute softened wax across the entire item.
- Apply evenly then allow it to dry off. The item may be slightly tacky for a day or so.
- If you don't want to see any wax when you are finished wait for the wax to harden after a few minutes and hit these areas again with the heat source. Sometimes you might want to wait 2-3 days and then re-heat and rub down the bag.
- Natural beeswax will evaporate and biodegrade naturally especially in warmer climates. On average, you probably only need to re-wax once a year but you can re-treat as often as needed or desired.
Simple DIY Application
Great care for a great product I recently purchased the fabric wax to refresh my canvas poncho. Shipping was fast and the wax was easy to apply. The poncho looks brand new and is ready for another QLD wet season.

The advantage is that this method of proofing the fabric also allows it to breathe, unlike the plastic treatment options found in waterproof fabrics. Want to know more? Read this article.

My second Jack Stilan purchase. First one was my satchel with is across my shoulder everyday. It’s with wood rain, being dropped in the gutter in puddles it’s tough it’s cool it’s super practical, and has that now famous lifelong warranty, so on that basis I’ve purchased my backpack, of equally fantastic quality , it’s bloody comfortable to wear. And looks great too. It’s comes one every bike ride and is just so nice to have across my shoulders . Being of natural material there is a lot less sweat and discomfort for me compared to all of the synthetic backpacks on the market ! And outstanding product and one I’m proud to own.
Hi Phill, thank you for sharing your experience! We're so happy to hear how much you enjoy the quality, comfort, and practicality of our products. Thanks again for continuously supporting us. Cheers, Jack Stillman

The Jack Stillman wax cake product was so easy to apply to my old japara oilskin Jacket, its now like new.
I’ve used waxed japara for many many years and Jack Stillman products are superior to others I’ve used.
I highly recommend this product in my bushcraft skills courses called Everyday Bushcraft.
Many participants aren’t aware of waxed japara but after seeing its use in the field, they usually agree it’s superior to nylon products.

Great size just a detailed

Incredible quality Mk VII jones cross body bag in Jungle colour. Better than I had hoped it would be and will now be my everyday carry bag. Love the rustic and durable look and feel of the waxed finish. If you are thinking of getting this bag then stop thinking and just get it, you won’t be dissapointed.
Hi Dave, love to hear that you love the Mk VII and its waxed finish! Thanks so much for your review. enjoy your new everyday carry!
