So far, I've only waxed the wheel-facing sides of my baggins panniers. This was a few months ago, but I wasn't satisfied with the result. Several months on it hasn't seemed to absorb properly (still waxy in parts) and it really darkened the fabric significantly.
How do you wax your cotton in a manner that results in a similar outcome to the original thing. Also, what's the best product to use? I'd be waxing a few baggins bags, a nigel smythe, and *maybe* an acorn rando. I've used the Filson wax on my canvas N.S. Country Bag. Followed directions (and I'd used it on garments before) and melted in with a hair dryer. Slight darkening to the canvas (which has also occurred on my unwaxed to a greater degree), but then it pretty much stabilized. If I get the time this week, I wanted to document the procedure on my Keven's Bag. But, it's pretty straight forwrd. My working plan is to wash my dirty and beausaged Baggins Banana Bag and then retreat in the same manner. - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Send In Your Photos! - Here's how: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "There were messengers who named their bikes, but Chevette never would have done that, and somehow because she did think about it like it was something alive."
