FAQs

How often should I re-wax my garments?

Re-wax your garments as needed, typically once or twice a year, or when the waterproofing starts to diminish.

Can I use this wax on other types of fabric?

No, this wax is specifically designed for waxed cotton garments. Using it on other fabrics may damage them.

How do I clean my waxed cotton garment?

Spot clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using soap or detergents, as they can remove the wax. Do not machine wash.

What should I do if the wax is not absorbing?

Ensure the garment is clean and dry. Apply the wax evenly, and make sure the garment is exposed to heat to aid absorption. You might need to reapply the wax.

Where should I store the wax?

Store the wax in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How long does the waterproofing last?

The waterproofing can last for several months to a year, depending on use and care. Regular re-waxing is recommended to maintain the protection.

What if the garment still leaks after waxing?

Ensure you have applied the wax correctly, covering all areas. You may need to apply a second coat. Pay close attention to seams and areas that receive the most wear. If the problem persists, the garment may have damage beyond repair.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the fabric after application.

Ensure the wax was applied evenly and that the garment was heated sufficiently to allow the wax to penetrate. Reapply wax if necessary, focusing on the areas where water is penetrating.

The wax is not absorbing into the fabric.

Make sure the garment is clean and dry before application. Apply the wax evenly and ensure the garment is exposed to sufficient heat to aid absorption.

The garment feels sticky after application.

This could be due to applying too much wax. Gently wipe off the excess wax with a clean cloth, and allow the garment to dry completely in a warm area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility

Gold Label Waterproof Wax is specifically designed for use with waxed cotton garments. It is not recommended for use on other types of fabrics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and colorfastness.

Application

  1. Clean the Garment: Ensure the waxed cotton garment is clean and dry before applying the wax. Remove any dirt or debris with a brush or cloth.
  2. Apply the Wax: Using a clean cloth, apply the wax evenly to the fabric, working it into the seams and high-wear areas.
  3. Heat the Garment: Hang the garment in a warm area (e.g., near a radiator, in a warm room) to allow the wax to penetrate the fabric fully. The heat helps the wax melt and absorb.
  4. Allow to Dry: Allow the garment to dry completely. This may take several hours or overnight.
  5. Check and Repeat: Check the garment's waterproofing by sprinkling water on it. If needed, repeat the process.

Care

  • Storage: Store the wax in a cool, dry place.
  • Cleaning: Avoid washing waxed cotton garments frequently. Spot clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Do not use soap or detergents as this can remove the wax.
  • Re-waxing: Re-wax your garments as needed, typically once or twice a year, or when the waterproofing starts to diminish.
