Product Information

This step differs based on whether you’re using a fabric wax bar, or a fabric dressing that you need to heat before applying.

So what is canvas, exactly? It’s a heavy duty cotton cloth that was originally used to make sails for boats. Cotton is a woven fiber material, and that weave allows air and moisture to pass through the cloth—perfect for breathable cotton t-shirts, but far from optimal if you’re looking for waterproof protection.
