I think I paid a quid or two less at Tamarack, but making your own is very easy and cheap.

£5.99 from greenmanbushcraft if it's in stock!

Thanks all,
Going to make my own although the prices on ebay seem a little high.

Hi

The above link doesn't work. Is anyone able to point me towards a guide for making this please?

Paraffin wax from the Bay not old candles as they have stearin in them. 90% paraffin wax and 10% bees wax. Think I went to 15% beeswax 'cos I like it and had it!!!

What's the downside of Stearin in the mix then?

Stearin makes the wax harder. It keeps candles from bending at room temperature. You want your waterproofing wax to be soft so it is easier to rub on and so it stays flexible on the fabric.

Cool, I often wondered what it was there for.

It’s a Bushcraftuk.co.uk post from the previous incarnation. If you hit Report on your post above, it sends it to the mod and admin lounge and bar so it’s highlighted.
