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?

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.
