Waxing Shoes

(1/1)

Lone:
I usually put some leather protection on my redback boots.  Would anyone know please a formula for a beeswax leather waterproofer?  I bought some new boots today.

Thanks,

Lone

Michael Bush:
I melt equal parts of beeswax and Vaseline.  Once mixed this is soft enough that you can spread it onto boots.  It works best if the boots are warm.  If it's winter I just set them on a furnace grate or vent to get warm.

Lone:
Thanks Mr Michael.

Irwin:
Tell me more how do you mix on the stove at what temp and is a good water prof
