This bar is very hard and therefor hard to apply. It may or may not work well, first time using it, but I won't be using it again because of the application process. I've used other natural waterproofing stuff like Filson's wax, Mink Oil and Hubbards that go on pretty easy. Only thing I'd ever think about using this for is for waxing thread.<br /><br />I'm an avid outdoorsman who has a second home in Alaska. I know good equipment. This stuff is a pain in the ass.
