Are you sure this was necessary? Was your lavvu leaking? I think Sweedwoods says you don’t have to wax your lavvu. Mine is also untreated and does not leak when it’s raining. Still very cool to watch the water drops run down your lavvu. Nice video. I’m subscribed.
Hello. I think whether lavvu requires waterproofing measures with wax depends on what country you will be using lavvu in. My country is Japan. This is the southwest region of Japan. The area I live in is hot and humid, and it rains a lot. Humidity is also high. For this reason, all outdoor gear must be waterproof. lavvu original has poor waterproof function, so it is necessary to apply wax. Sweedwoods is Swedish and uses lavvu in Sweden. I think he's right that lavvu doesn't need waxing. But my case is different. If I use lavvu in the area where I live, it will need to be waterproof. Based on the above, I think the need for waxing will change in countries that use lavvu. Thank you for your valuable feedback. That was a very helpful comment. Thanks for watching! P.S. When using the lavvu in the rain for a long time, water leaks through the button seams. I noticed a water leak on the third day. I solved this problem by applying wax to the button seams. ua-cam.com/video/OKz3Lf97leU/v-deo.html
Hello there, great work and very instructive video. My lavvu is being shipped, waiting to waterproof it the same way. I was wondering if it is gonna leak under heavy and continuous rain, per example for a full night, because what you did in this video was a shower for a limited time. And if per example applying the wax like you did twice might add value. Thank you.
Hello. The reason I use fixi'n wax is because it's soft and easy to use in wrinkled areas and around buttons. The fabric itself is waterproofed with Greenland wax. One thing to note is that the seam treatment needs to be done because the sewing thread on the buttons will leak. Just apply the melted wax to it. However, the leak occurs when it rains for three days in a row, so it's not a problem if it's only one night. Thanks for watching!
Does this method work with nylon tents as well? Should I do only the seams and is it okay to heat it? // For example, does it work with French Surplus tent?
@@messkitchef So I suppose, I'll have to use the silicon+isopropanyl solution on the seams. Seems like most of the tutorials are suggesting this method. Thank you!
Hi! "Polish lavvu" isn't correct name of this tent. Name "lavvu" is from the Sami (Laponian) language and means a Sami tent, kind of lower tipi. In Polish we don't have and use this word: lavvu.. and when U are using it, it's a mistake and funny. No Pole or Slav call it "lavvu". It's like calling the Indian teepee or Lapland lavvu using the name: plash palatka... or more correctly the pwashch pawatka (Polish: płaszcz pałatka). I know that the name "Polish lavvu" has become popular and that this tent exists in the world under this name but ... I will describe briefly the situation that took place in the Polish Military Property Agency where such a tent could be purchased: when, out of curiosity whether he would associate this name, I used the words: Polish lavvu, the seller - soldier - did not know what it was about. He immediately knew the word "pałatka" (your "palatka"). Our army does not use this name "LAVVU" either ;-) Your "plash palatka" is an incorrect attempt to English transliterate the Polish name of this coat-tent. It should be "pwashch" or - making things a bit easier - "plashch" (Polish "płaszcz"), which means coat. Palatka (Polish "pałatka"), means tent and should also be written and pronounced slightly differently, because the closest equivalent of the letter "ł" is the English "w". The completely correct English pronunciation/transliteration of these words would be: p-w-a-s-h-c-h p-a-w-a-t-k-a (w as in "walk", sh as in "show", ch as in "cherry", ). Use a translator with pronunciation to check the pronunciation of these words: PŁASZCZ PAŁATKA in Polish and you'll understand what's going on. Płaszcz pałatka means coat-ten, a tent made of a mantle/coat, two in one. We call it short pałatka. Additionally, if you said "plash" (or plash palatka) to a Polish who doesn't watch English-language bushcraft movies, he or she wouldn't know what it meant, because the word means nothing. He would definitely associate the word plashch, especially if you pronounced it as pwashch ;-)
SAVE TIME! - Have Filson do it for thousands of dollars aye? Same waxed cotton as Filson garments. Send the tent to them for a few thousand & save valuable time kiddos! Another way is to wax yourself, & not even use the tent. SAVE TIME! Use ear wax...

Is there any reason why you used both greenland and fix n wax?
Ive just seen videos using the greenland wax.
Thanks.

Doesn't canvas seal itself if season correct with water?
Sealing the canvas itself with water leaks the rain. Therefore I use wax.

I want a tent What to do
Does this method work with nylon tents as well? Should I do only the seams and is it okay to heat it?
// For example, does it work with French Surplus tent?
This method is only cotton.
Please do not use this method for nylon tents.
This method can not be used for French Surplus tent.
