JobSite Snow Shield Waterproof Beeswax - Original Formula - Leather Protector - 6 oz

The beeswax shipped pretty fast, since I signed up for a free trial of Amazon Prime. The directions are on the back on how to use it. You heat up your boots, heat up the beeswax, and apply to the boots with a sponge. I used a paper towel as an applicator. I also heated up my boots with a hair dryer on hot, but I probably only should've used the warm setting, because my boots got a little wrinkly afterwards (it says do not exceed heat of 120 degrees F...I never read instructions, cuz I'm a rebel.) After the boots were heated up I just blasted the wax really quick, and then I got a glob and slathered it on the boots in a circular motion. I used a really generous amount; probably too much. You should probably start small and then build up from that. Anywho, after I got done applying the beeswax, my boots (black) looked pretty much the same, but they had an oily, waxy feel to them. I get the feeling you're supposed to let them sit for awhile to let the stuff soak in, or maybe I put too much, but anyways, I ran them under some water and it just beaded up and went away. After about one day, the waxy feel went away and the boots looked and felt exactly the same as before, but this time, they were waterproof. I mean, forrealz waterproof. I accidentally spilt fruit punch on them, and they still look good. Dirt is easier to wipe off of them now, too. Bottom line, the application process is a little tedious (I thought it was fun, but I'm just weird like that) but it's totally worth it because it makes your boots waterproof, has no fragrance, and is natural and won't give you cancer or whatever from the chemicals.

This is the classic wax treatment for work and hiking boots that will be worn in the snow. The stuff works like no other. The old trick is to apply it to the leather then set the boots in a warm (not hot!) oven so it will melt and sink in deeply where it won't wear off. Works absolutely great for waterproofing. If you are hoping to keep your leather breathable, this is not what you want--its a water tight seal. I've used it on work and hiking boots that are worn in the snow for 50 years. It's still the best there is for that purpose. Read more

Received this Beeswax waterproof and expected it to be hard as a candle, it was but that's because it was 10 degrees out when it was delivered. Anyway, I let it sit at room temp overnight and the next day applied it to my new snow boots. I don't know if it was just me but I applied it with a shoe dauber, and it went on with the consistency of regular shoe polish. Got into all the sewn seams and nooks and crannies. Did not buff it but just let it soak in which it did then hit it with another coat.@ days later I was trudging thru 20 inches of snow ice fishing. The water from drilling holes in the ice and the snow just beaded right off my boot like a freshly waxed car in the rain. Only 4 stars for now. I want to see what the longevity of this stuff is before I give it 5 stars. Like everyone else said, it will darken your leather a bit, but then again so will water. Read more

I'm trying this on a couple duster coats. So far it goes on easier than the stuff they sell especially for that, also cheaper. Doing this on a black card table in direct sunlight. 85 degrees. I'm applying it by hand, so yeah the coats were hot and this stuff melted into the fabric I only did one side and it soaked in really well. I might have gone overboard. It will probably stain what I wear under until it's used. But it's fishing and camping coats. You will need at least one jar for a XL full length duster. So fat I think it's going to work just fine for me. Read more

Does a good job. Used it on pull on work boots Read more

I feel like this works ok. It is hard to tell really. It covered my cowhide gloves well, but it made them permanently darker and kind of roughed them up some. It also feels very thin. I just don't know what to expect maybe but time will tell if they are still protected in a year. Read more

Ya this stuff is the real deal! I rubbed this into my new leather boots with a microfiber cloth. I spent about 10 min on each boot working it deep into the leather. After it dried I could detect no residues left over from the product, it was 100% dry to the touch the next day. My boots were a light brown color when I got them and after applying this it did darken the leather slightly as it states, but I really liked the look it gave them. They look a much richer brown now almost reddish brown. Anyway the next day I was at work and splashed a little water onto my boot while washing my hands in the bathroom. I saw it bead up and thought oh that’s cool then continued to dry my hands and forgot to wipe the droplets off the boot. About 15 min went by while I was sitting at my desk and then I happened to remember the droplets and looked down to see if the boot was dry. To my surprise the same water droplets we’re STILL sitting on the surface of the boot! Lol. I proceeded to wipe the beads off to the side with my finger and they literally ran down the side of my boot to the ground without leaving a single trace of a water stains! That’s a damn good product in my book. Read more
