morton 5,369 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Do people still wear them?,for a quick fix i used to use a spray on wax,every year the old wax proof was thrown in the washer,when dry it was hung in a warm airing cupboard and hand waxed,a laborious process.Most outdoor centres used to sell the wax.
