Thanks, this was helpful. I made a piece of waxed canvas for a bag using these instructions, and it looks good. I'll sew it together tomorrow. And I used the iron, and it seems fine.

That’s so cool! I’m happy it worked for you! Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it!

Catching up on old video. You have one of the best narrative voices out there. Good information separating oil from wax. Full play with ads. Have a great week

Thanks my friends! I appreciate you watching! I hope you have a great week also!

Great video Dominic. I will mess with this a bit. Thanks

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks my friend! It gets easier and faster the more you do. I have since went to a 90 percent paraffin and 10 percent beeswax. Seems to penetrate a bit faster!

[@mikedifazio9587]

Cool video - lots of insight. I work with beeswax, too. Love the stuff!

A good source of beeswax is at HomeDepot or any hardware store, I buy the cheap wax toilet rings ( a dollar and change) I keep a number of plastic jars full on my boat,

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

I haven’t used any wax toilet rings. I get my beeswax from a local beekeeper at a very reasonable price!

[@spankyweaselcakes2927]

Nice organic approach! I've been thinking about doing this for a while but I wonder about the weight increase for a satchel I made from denim. Denim is thicker and will absorb more. Any recommendations?

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Spanky Weaselcakes Thanks! I never weighed it before and after, but to get the water resistant qualities, it’s worth the extra weight. You could make a sample piece to check the weights. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@wolfonaut7677]

Thanks, fantastic tutorial! My sisters a hairdresser and I was going to make a travel case for her scissors, in the video you say to wax after the sewing but would you still do that if the item features an enclosed element such as a pocket; I'm worried wax might collect in the little pockets that the scissor blades sit in. Would er interested in your opinion.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

You’re welcome! You are absolutely correct! I have since tweaked my waxed canvas making. Check this video out, it is sewed after waxing. Much easier and a better result! Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZrGpH2umMiZhqs

I tried this on a bucket hat with 3:1 beeswax and linseed oil. It dried instantly and was whitish so I put the hat in the microwave for 1 min on high and it all went into the fabric, used a hair dryer on a couple of spots, it all came out good.

That’s awesome! Was it boiled linseed oil? Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it!

Hello, I would like to know how many days should pass after applying the wax so that it cures and can be impermeable. I tried to wax some canvas and after 48 hours I dropped some water and it was faded. Thank you.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

HAROLD CRISTOFER ARANGO CALLE Hi! I let it cure for 24 hours. When you say it faded, do you mean it discolored?

[@haroldcristoferarangocalle3756]

@@Dominic.Minischetti Yes, This happens kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5i8hWqNoa-Iq68 I was researching and found this video. This company says it's normal and I've been sorted out like them. It is normal? In addition, I have used 100% beeswax and I have also used 50/50 beeswax and paraffin wax with some coconut oil. Thank you, I remain attentive to any recommendation.

[@Vimokshadaka]

I wondered by anyone added oil into the wax, just to save money or as a carrier for resin? It doesn't seem needed.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Maybe it was cheaper? I really don’t know!

[@JA-kx6kf]

This is great man! I got a question though, What's the difference, if any, between using just beeswax vs beeswax + paraffin?

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks my friend! The only difference in my opinion is the cost. Beeswax is more expensive that paraffin!

[@sohrabtabrizi4457]

Can I do this with parrafin?

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Sohrab Tabrizi Yes you can, but it would be better if you add a little beeswax. 10% beeswax and 90% paraffin would create a Greenland Wax.

[@sohrabtabrizi4457]

@@Dominic.Minischetti awesome thanks. I'm sure I can find a little beeswax around the house.

what diff. of pure bees wax and beeswax with lindseed and turpentine thinner

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

With linseed it considered an oil cloth! Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it!

@@Dominic.Minischetti i mean is thwre and diff. on like texture, water proofing(resistance) to the strength of the cloth the feels? thank you for answering. im planning to make one. and i watch a ton of video doing with the oil and thinner. this a lot much cost me lower than putting oil i just want to know about the pros and cons of having oil and pure wax hope you can answer me.. thank bro!

[@rvinism28]

@@Dominic.Minischetti i watched a ton of videos.. theyre mixing linseed , turpentine spirit and bees waxed.. if beeswax alon is ok why they mix some oil and thinner?

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

arvin egualan You’re welcome brother! The oil cloth is much more water resistant, but takes much more work to make properly. The advantages of the wax is it’s faster and can be touched up very fast also! If I was making a tent or tarp, I would use oilcloth, for pretty much everything else I would use the waxed canvas! I hope that helps!

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

arvin egualan It all depends on what you’re making. A bag doesn’t need oil and thinner. A tent does! I make a nice backpack with just wax! It’s awesome!

[@fxair2836]

They Don’t recommended Me To Use Waxed Canvas Because Keep Stinky Smell even if it’s was washed I Feel Hopeless To Find Water Resistant Material 😂💔

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

My canvas does not smell, commercial canvas does. They must add something else to it! Try to make some yourself!

[@bobleclair5665]

0:36, I”d be careful with linseed oil and cloth, it will ignite, I stop using linseed oil because of it, I’ve worked with many combustibles and linseed oil I’ve seen a number of times smoking and glowing, If I did use it, I would soak it in water and put it in it’s own bag, it was too much bother and concern, so I just stop using it, I’m a carpenter for over 50 years

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Yes I agree! I only use it for wood working projects and soak the rags in water! Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it!
