In today’s video I’m going to show you a quick easy method for waterproofing fabric. It really makes the fabric resistant to absorbing water, as it is not a perfect sealant. The cloth that I’ll be using is made of 100% cotton but I know canvas and other fabrics will work. You just need to find some wax and apply it evenly and fully to the fabric. You can find special wax online for this purpose but a simple candle will do just fine. I’m put the wax on both sides. More wax will help with the waterproofing but it will make the fabric more stiff depending on the wax. Once applied, just take a hair dryer or heat gun and go to town. The wax will begin to melt and seep in. You’ve applied enough heat when the color of the fabric comes back to normal. Allow to dry and cool down completely. You can see by testing the wax-finished fabric, the water beads and slides right off. It isn’t perfect waterproofing but it’s much better than the leaving fabric untreated. Giving it a few minutes, the wax side will also dry faster.
