FAQ
Is waxed canvas waterproof?
Waxed canvas is highly water-repellent and sheds light rain and spills. Seams and needle holes are not sealed, so for full waterproofing use seam sealers or liners.
How do I care for waxed canvas?
Do not machine wash, dry clean, or iron. Brush off dirt, spot clean with cold water and a mild soap if needed, and air dry. Heat can reduce wax performance.
Can I re-wax it later?
Yes. Re-wax as needed with bar or paste waxes; apply sparingly and warm gently to set. This restores repellency and the classic, lived-in look.
Will the Mosaic Blue waxed canvas color crock or transfer?
Minor rub-off can occur with waxed finishes, especially on light colors or under heavy friction. Pre-test with your lining/leather and edge-finish exposed seams.
What needles and thread should I use?
Most machines handle 10 oz waxed canvas. Use a fresh denim/jeans needle (90/14–100/16) and bonded polyester thread for strength and weather resistance.
Can I press seams?
Finger-press or use a seam roller. Avoid high-heat ironing. If needed, a warm (not hot) dry press cloth can help set folds—test first.
Does it smell waxy or feel tacky?
A light wax aroma is normal and dissipates. The hand is dry-to-the-touch; slight surface wax is expected and contributes to water repellency.
Do you offer samples and wholesale?
Yes—order a sample to preview color and hand. Businesses can apply for wholesale pricing for volume orders and roll buys.
