Since 1942 CHAP WAX has proven itself to be the finest natural wax waterproofing, and the solution for those looking for a waterproofing to care for all their fine top-grained leather products. CHAP WAX provides that extra, needed protection from rain, snow, mud and other barnyard elements. Use CHAP WAX on 'leaky' chaps and chinks, quilted saddle seats, boots, shoes and other leathers needing protection and added life. CHAP WAX provides a moisture shield and does not soften leathers. CHAP WAX can also be applied over Saddle Butter for added protection. Chap wax has been used for over 50 years by cowboys, loggers and outdoorsmen who must depend on their leather footwear and equipment to repel water in the most adverse of weather conditions. Chap Wax is a blend of waxes including refined bees wax and carnauba wax (imported at great expense from the carnauba tree in Brazil). Carnauba wax is an expensive hard wax that will help protect leather from weather and wear when applied. Long Lasting Wax Blend Waterproofing for Leather Chap Wax waterproofs leather by penetrating deep into the leather. As the waxes in Chap Wax cool, they solidify, repelling moisture yet allowing the leather to breathe. Chap Wax lasts longer than grease and can be used repeatedly to waterproof leathers. Chap Wax will not cause leather to get spongy or stretch out of shape.
