1lb of paraffin wax and and 3/4 lb. of beeswax melted them together over low heat..

Apply with rough brush and blow dry into the fabric!

There are a lot of diy recipes for making this kind of water proofing wax .

How durable is this? Could I count on using it for a season or two without retreating as applied to a canvas rainfly or backpack?

Yes it should last about a year if you are applying the right amount and are washing less!

This is actually hundreds of years old. Nice post on here! Way to bring back 18th century recipes!
