As a beekeeper and leatherworker/blacksmith it’s nice having unlimited wax to waterproof and use as a forge finish it’s some really handy stuff

@HomerTheAckbar Ай бұрын

Your stuff with bees wax will last 5x longer than his mink oil finish. Always was told mink oil eats up leather rather than locking in moisture. Beeswax is exactly at moisture control. Seals moisture in honey from the moisture outside.

@SoapMcCallister Ай бұрын

Beeswax also neutralises any watery acid that eats at the shoe adhesive, unlike mink glue which actually eats through it over time

@pier-ricklamontagne275 Ай бұрын

that's very funny I was thinking last week I should get a hive. I need it for woodworking and leather crafting.. now i'm convinced.

@Sk0lzky Ай бұрын

I have beekeepers in my family and I always grab all the wax they can provide. I too use it for sealing leather (and seams), as well as archery and occasional fabric waterproofing. It also smells nice and unlike the parafin wax it's perfectly biodegradable ❤ It also smells nice which is an amazing. To everyone else - if you buy pure beeswax from a beekeeper you're gonna pay pennies, then you just mix it with your oil of choice (or use pure wax, depending on the use case) while store-bought sealants and "archery wax sticks" are an absolute ripoff and usually are 80+% petroleum oil.

Tip about making them boots waterproof. When you put something on them, do it second time. Then you can use some oil, (eatable is preferred) Nivea creme and then some good boots paste. After every layer puted on try to leave them like that for couple of hours then apply the next layer. In my leather boots I can stand in wather with dry foots. Works like a charm.

I’ve been doing a slightly different version with new boots for over 50 years. I put the boots on and stand in the bathtub in very warm water until they are saturated. Then wear them until they dry, they’ll fit like a glove. Then put them in the sun to get the leather warm and apply mink oil, Beeswax will work too. Wipe off the excess and they are good to go, repeat the mink oil/Beeswax as needed.

I could swear that they were U.S. WWII combat boots, but when I looked it up it seems you are correct. The U.S. did also use identical ones called "Roughout" boots, which were later in the war replaced with the M43 double-buckle boots. I wonder if it was the Germans who copied the Americans, or vice versa, because they look so similar that I can't imagine both sides coming up with that design separately.

There is three things in life you never go cheap with, your boots, your bed and your wife because if you are not in one you are in the other. Also this guy should have applied one coat and heat up the boots to have the oil penetrate as far as possible then apply another coat and you can see from the old pair he doesn’t maintain regular oiling of his boots with a few other much minor issues that allowed him to blow out his boots as he did. Dude still hasn’t figured out how to maintain a pair of boots.
