• When the entire surface is waxed it needs to be melted in which you can do by aiming a heat gun or hair dryer at the fabric state change. Turn the heat gun or hair dryer on hold it about 6 inches from the fabric and move it back and forth until you see the wax melting.
• Until you see the wax melting buff the fabric with a clean, dry cloth. This will remove any extra wax and make it smooth without wrinkles.
• Let the material dry entirely before you utilize or manage it. This way the wax will have wholly dried providing the best protection for the fabric.
