Handmade in Portland, Oregon, this 1/2 pint can delivers a factory-waxed finish that repels water while maintaining fabric breathability. Ideal for jackets, shoes, backpacks, and more, it activates with heat for deep, durable protection without toxic chemicals. ## Description Product description Heat-Activated Fabric Dressing Meltable waterproofing wax for fabrics needing a breathable, flexible barrier and ideal for treating larger surface areas. This dressing is applied when melted, allowing the wax to fully saturate canvas fibers for a durable and long-lasting protective finish. This wax cures to a matte finish, making it the best option for achieving a factory-waxed appearance that offers outstanding protection when applied to untreated canvas fabrics as well as all types of waxed canvas, oiled fabrics, and tincloth. Instructions For How To Apply Heat-Activated Fabric Dressing Ideal for waterproofing unwaxed materials, but this dressing is also a great way to reinvigorate factory-waxed and oiled fabrics. Applies easily when melted with a natural-bristle brush or soft lint-free cloth. For best results, use only on natural fiber (cotton, hemp, etc.) canvas and fabrics or poly-blended materials with at least 60% natural fiber content. Step 1. Gather your supplies. You'll need your canvas or fabric garment, a heating element, a pan with 1.5" of water, and a lint-free cotton cloth. Optional items include a medium-bristle brush, and a wooden Smoothing Tool. Step 2. Allow the tin to simmer in the hot water until wax begins to melt. You can adjust temperature up to melt the wax faster, however make sure that you turn the heat back down as soon as it melts. Step 3. Dip a lint-free cotton cloth into the Fabric Dressing and allow excess wax to drip back into tin. Make sure that your garment is clean and free of any dirt or dust, as this can be difficult to remedy once the wax has been applied. Step 4. With your clean garment laid out completely flat, begin applying Fabric Dressing. Apply to 6"x6" sections of fabric at a time before moving onto the next area. Step 5. Make sure that enough wax is being applied. You're on the right track when the surface of the canvas looks shiny and smooth. Step 6. Use your fingers, a wood Smoothing Tool or similar instrument to apply pressure and press any surface wax into the fabric. This helps remove any white clumps of wax and creates an even waterproof seal. Step 7. Use the edges of the wood Smoothing Tool to remove any excess wax from difficult areas such as seams and creases. Use a blow dryer or heat gun set to low to soften wax to a more spreadable consistency. Step 8. Allow your newly waxed item to hang in a warm, dry place for about 24~72 hours. Over time, any remaining tack will subside as the oils evaporate leaving the wax binded with the fabric. Review: excellent, but your garment will stink "a lot".. - I used Barbour wax initially and then tried this Otter..I like both and in my opinion they differ. I did a light weight 100% cotton field jacket with the Barbour and it turned out great, very supple and soft unlike a Filson tin clothe or similar but I probably could have coated it again to get more of a stiff finish..I did another 511 tactical heavy shirt with the Otter and the diff is it goes on thicker brushed and has a lot more of a thick coating before the heat process to impreganate it into the clothe..Another great way to apply it is heat the wax by sticking the heat gun on high right into the top of the can and when it melts a little stick the brush in and paint it on the garment spreading it as you use the heat gun and brush as you wipe off the excess before it dries which is much quicker than putting it all on the stove to melt it completely before applying..When I was finished both gave me excellent results with the Otter somewhat stiffer similar to a Filson finish..I find using a old iron to get this Into the clothe is best on easy to iron clothe then clean up any other spots with a heat gun or hair dryer just don't over do it or it will travel right thorough the clothe to the surface its on..This is a excellent procedure for both..My results were great and it was my first time. I think I'll stick with the Otter for price as you get twice the amount for the same cost and you will use the same per garment. Although the Barbour is easier and melts quicker and is more supple as you will have a hard time to know if the garment is Borboured by its looks and feel as it is soft but waterproof not stiff like Otter..Both are good though and if you don't screw it up you should be satisfied with either, but understand there is a reason you pay the $400 + cost for waxed jackets because they are a choir to do and you are paying for it so save and spend a coupler hours to save a couple hundred and do it to whatever you need to do it to..Up date; the garment I did is super water proof but it really smells and it smells everything else up in the storage. When I hang it in the garage, as soon as I enter it I can smell it a mile away..From now on only hunting clothes.. Review: Great product! Definitely weatherproofed my tent! - After melting 3 cans and trying to paint and scrape and rub this wax on to a canvas tent roof, I started to question my life choices that brought be to this point in my life. Then I noticed a missed spot and took a chunk of hard wax from an empty can and rubbed it on. It worked great. That’s when I came up with the idea to just make my own “rub” bars from the cans. I heated up 4 cans and poured them in to 3oz soap molds making 24 bars. On a 55°f day in direct sun the fabric is hot enough to melt and set the wax, just with less mess and I’m also able to more precisely apply it to needed locations. I like this wax and it definitely waterproofed the fabric. The smell is also pleasant and not harsh whatsoever. However you choose to apply this wax, I highly recommend it! ## Features - Heat-Activated Fabric Dressing: 100% Natural Waterproofing Fabric Wax - Reproofs Oiled Cotton Jackets for a Factory-Waxed Look - Environmentally Friendly & Safe Ingredients -Handmade in Portland, Oregon, USA- - 100% Natural Ingredients: Non-Toxic, No Silicone, No Petroleum - Large 1/2 Pint Can : Great for use on Oiled Coats, Canvas Shoes, Hats, Fabric Jackets, Rucksacks, Backpacks, & More! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0088K7I72 | | Best Sellers Rank | #290,259 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #168 in Shoe Protective Treatments | | Brand | Otter Wax | | Brand Name | Otter Wax | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,873 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00783583283960 | | Item Form | Wax | | Item Type Name | Fabric Wax | | Item Weight | 8 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Otter Wax | | Model Number | 0015 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 0015 | | Specific Uses For Product | Waterproofing, Waxing Canvas, Water Repellent, Waxing Fabrics | | UPC | 783583283960 | | Unit Count | 7.95 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Otter Wax - **Item Form:** Wax - **Item Weight:** 8 Ounces - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Specific Uses For Product:** Waterproofing, Waxing Canvas, Water Repellent, Waxing Fabrics ## Images ![Heat-Activated Fabric Dressing | 1/2 Pint - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jZ1OPdivL.jpg) ![Heat-Activated Fabric Dressing | 1/2 Pint - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GPqSUwOtL.jpg) ![Heat-Activated Fabric Dressing | 1/2 Pint - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81U0WLwDrVL.jpg) ![Heat-Activated Fabric Dressing | 1/2 Pint - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71liJrz46BL.jpg) ![Heat-Activated Fabric Dressing | 1/2 Pint - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dMMDNJbAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between this and the bar form? Any difference in ingredients?** A: Our Wax Bars are excellent for one-sided waxing because it creates a seal on the top layer of the fabric. It's ideal for hats, shoes, and gloves, where you wouldn't want waxed fabric in direct contact with your skin. Our bars are also great for quickly re-proofing factory waxed and oiled garments. Our Fabric Dressing is melted down when applied, thus permeating deeper into the fabric and yielding a more factory-waxed appearance. This is ideal for multi-layered coats and jackets, or for re-proofing factory-oiled fabrics. **Q: What are the exact ingredients?** A: This all I've found, "natural ingredients including the highest quality beeswax and our proprietary blend of plant-based waxes and oils." **Q: I have of Dickie canvas pants and would like to make them into a pair of tin pants. Will this work? If yes how many cans would it take?** A: Our Fabric Wax and Fabric Dressing will work on most any type of fabric. Because our wax is made from all-natural ingredients, it will generally bond best with natural fibers (cotton, hemp, etc., however it is also very effective on blended fabrics where the proportion of natural fiber to synthetic is in the majority. Depending on the size of the pants I'd recommend three or four tins for untreated fabric. On our website there is a 15% discount on a three pack and free shipping over $40.00. **Q: Can this be used on a crushable felt hat?** A: I don't think it would be a good idea. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent, but your garment will stink "a lot".. *by M***M on October 13, 2025* I used Barbour wax initially and then tried this Otter..I like both and in my opinion they differ.

I needed to waterproof a canvas watercolor field bag. I found the perfect one on Amazon for around $40. The trouble is, the cavas was not water resistant at all. The quality and price of the bag were too good to pass on, so I decided to try and waterproof it with this product. It takes forever for the wax to melt…and, then, it goes from milky to clear before you should even think about applying it. I used a stiff 1-1/2” wide paint brush with stiff bristles. I could get, maybe, a 3” section of the bag sort of done and then had to put the brush back in the can to remelt everything and get the wax compound hot enough to go clear again. In any event, the bag tool four hours and looked awful, with missed sections and chunks of unabsorbed wax everywhere. So, the next day, I started rubbing tiny sections with my thumb and fingers. That actually works. As friction heats up the wax, the canvas absorbs it better and you start getting a uniform look….But life isn’t long enough to complete a backpack by that method, so I got out my heat gun. 90 minutes and I had a gorgeous, water proof, waxed canvas watercolor field bag. It’s been a week, now, and I would do this again…..but do yourself a favor and buy or borrow a good heat gun. Use it on low, to where it melts any bits of wax and the canvas absorbs them instantly. Fill in with the wax you scraped off with your wood tool (I used popsicle stick) when first applying the melted wax. Just kind stick it where you want it and melt it into the canvas with the heat gun. ## Frequently Bought Together - Otter Wax Heat-Activated Fabric Dressing | 1/2 Pint | All-Natural Water Repellent | Made in USA - Otter Wax Waxed Canvas Smoothing Tool - Otter Wax Fabric Wax Bar | Regular Bar | Durable Rain Protection | Made in the USA | Waterproof Canvas, Shoes, Hats, Jacket, Bags, Outdoor Gear, Clothing | All-Natural & Effective Beeswax Waterproofer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/6918661-heat-activated-fabric-dressing-1-2-pint](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/6918661-heat-activated-fabric-dressing-1-2-pint) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
