Can I waterproof cotton with pure beeswax?
I looked around on google and everybody says to mix wax with other shit. Would I be able to just rub a brick of beeswax on the cloth and melt it(?) And it would be good, or would it flake and crack or something?
Prolly gonna lose some insulating properties with that magic trick.
You're gonna be a giant hippie candle.
Why don't you try it on a small piece of cloth with a small peace of wax?

I know that Fjallraven's wax is a mix of beeswax and parafin. Some google'ing around forums tells me that it's mostly parafin - like 90 % parafin and 10 % beeswax. Another guy wrote that what he uses for clothing is 50% parafin granulate 30% pure beeswax and 20 % bioled linseed oil.

Idunno what that has to do with those posts but ear coning/ear candleing is a gigantic crock of whore's shit. It's so bad that I would literally buy snake oil before buying that crap.

Never used it and never seen one up close but I have seen the literature and heard some very qualified people discuss the topic.
But yeah I guess if it's waxed linen, and doesn't burn like a primacord, those anons have little to worry about.
That said look-up the Hartford Circus Fire. Shit was canvas coated in parafin wax and gasoline (maybe not altogether different from the wax/linseed oil mix?).
Also, not a yuge shitfan but it's a necessary part of life I gues.

Yes, you can, though regular candle wax rubs in nicer.
