How do I re-wax my waxed canvas?
Apply a thin layer of fabric wax and heat it gently with a hairdryer or heat gun to absorb evenly. Check out our Waxed Canvas Care & Re-Waxing Guide for step-by-step instructions.
Will waxed canvas stain or rub off on other materials?

No. This fabric is not fire-retardant and should be kept away from open flames or high heat.
