text: Bought this in 2014 but just tried using it.  All I can say is - it is messy!  Heated the can as directed in a small pot of water, it melted OK.  But getting it out of the can while it is melted (ie hot) is difficult - I used a paint brush about 1-1/2 inches wide, it was hard to get it into & out of the can.  If you use a narrower brush you won't pick up as much wax.  Another problem - I waited until it was an 80+ degree day, had to work inside though because that's where my stove is.  Couldn't take the stuff outside because the water wouldn't stay hot enough to keep the wax melted.  Another problem - as soon as the brush hit the wax & I started to apply it to the jacket (Barbour waxed cotton), the wax began to harden.  Tried heating the wax (on the jacket) with my hair drier - that worked somewhat.  Even with the 80+ degree heat, it wax started to harden up on the jacket.  Then tried using an old washcloth to dip into the can - that worked better than the brush, but it was messy also.  Best method was to heat the jacket, in small patches of course, WHILE applying the wax from the washcloth - because I could heat not only the cloth but the wax on the cloth also, at the same time.  There are still patches of wax in spots, now hanging the jacket in the hot sun and going to wipe it in/down with another lint free cloth.  I always wanted a Barbour waxed cotton jacket & saved up for it. Next time I am saving up to have the jacket waxed by the company!  Not worth the mess!  There is enough wax in the can to do my entire jacket (hip length) but I only did the shoulders, arms and just past the pockets on the front and most of the back.  There is enough wax left in the can to do the rest of the jacket.
