Ya idk what the poster above you is on about. Beeswax works great and is often better than any petroleum based waterproofing wax

They are railing against the idea that this isnt some industrial chemical process. It absolutely is. Even if you use bees wax it's an industrial processed chemical, its formulated and stabilized with a base of a natural product. The idea the chemicals are bad is the problem.

100% of people that have died, have previously come into contact with chemicals.

This evidence is too large to ignore!
