Otter Wax worked really well. I have waxed a shoulder bag and a jacket and still have about half of the bar left. To test them I held the jacket under the shower and it is definitely very water proof. It didnt change the look of the bag or jacket as much as I thought it would. The material looks a tiny bit darker and in some light is a little bit shinny but other than that I dont really notice it. The wax has almost no smell and is non-toxic which makes it great to work with. I have used paraffin waxes before that smelled awful and kept getting worse with age.
Its really easy to do if a little time consuming. You really need to take your time and get all the seams and cracks . In the instructions they say to just rub the wax on then smooth it with your fingers. I would really recommend using a hair dryer to melt the wax after you rub it onto the cloth. This seemed to not only make the cotton absorb the wax a bit better but made it look much better too. Much more of a 'factory waxed' look. You can still use your fingers to spread out any parts that look uneven, just be careful because the wax can get really hot. I am guessing this is why they dont recommend this in the official instructions.
I find myself wandering around the house now looking for more things to wax. This wax turned out great. Im definitely going to pick up more so that I can keep my stuff waxed and waterproof.
