I think this would interfere with the hygroscopic action of the Ventile cotton fibres which need to absorb water to thicken up and so block further transposition of moisture through the garment material. Ventile should work on its own without foreign substances affecting its working action.

I bet those Greenland Bees and the local Greenland petrochemical industry make a few bucks out of this product!!!! lol..

Same stuff sold in camping shops in a large shoepolish style tin for half the price. I think you can even buy it in liquid form in a gallon tin.

Posh it up a bit make it look the "bees knees" and charge double seems about your everyday marketing ploy.

Lester look up waxing on this site, a few have done it.
