How to make universal impregnation to protect various materials from moisture?

Homemade wax impregnation is a very useful thing in the household. Thanks to it, it is possible to protect metal products from rust, make wood, leather, textiles and other materials resistant to water. From the plus, it is worth highlighting a very simple manufacturing technology. There are no complex and expensive components in such an impregnation. All ingredients can be found without any problems.

To make universal impregnation, you will need to visit the following stores: selling honey (beeswax is bought there), household (for natural linseed oil, but not oxol). Drying oil can also be made using a long boil out of sunflower or linseed oil. In the hardware store you need to purchase turpentine. Distillation from resin can also be done if desired.

It all starts with waxing, which will then need to be melted in a water bath. Drying oil is intervened after removing the mass from the fire, when the wax is completely melted. Turpentine is not always used. The proportions of wax and drying oils by weight are one to one. The resulting mass is then poured into a mold and allowed to cool. The product without turpentine is completely safe. If desired, it can even be smeared on the skin. But at the same time, using such an impregnation is less convenient than that made with turpentine.

The proportions of impregnation with turpentine are as follows: turpentine, drying oil and two parts of wax. The procedure is similar. Turpentine is added after drying oil. The mixture is allowed to cool after thorough mixing. To fill a sufficiently large container, you will need two tablespoons of turpentine, the same amount of drying oil and seventy-five grams of wax. With turpentine, a less dense version of the impregnation is obtained. By consistency, it resembles pasta. The impregnation begins to melt by itself already in the hands. A slight smell of resin occurs due to the presence of turpentine.

There are several ways to use impregnation. When it comes to processing wood, it is smeared boldly on the surface with a fairly large piece. Further, the material is heated at the stake or with a hairdryer, depending on the surrounding possibilities. After that, you only need to polish the surface with a soft cloth. Wood becomes resistant to moisture by penetrating wax into its pores. As a result, water cannot moisten the material. Also, impregnation into the tree can be rubbed vigorously. In this case, it also covers the surface well, since wax and other components melt from friction and exposure to heat of the hands.

Just boldly smear the surface should be when it comes to metal. In this case, you do not need to warm anything. After treatment, the skin needs to be warmed up. With tissue, they act similarly.
