I just received my first waxed canvas shooting bag. What do I need to do to take care of it? Do I need to reapply the coating at some point? If so what do I use and how do I reapply it?
You don't have to do anything (maybe wipe it down with a damp towel), but if you want it to stay somewhat tacky use Otterwax. Take a hairdryer and heat the bag, rub wax on it, and then hit it with the hairdryer again to help it absorb into the fabric.

This is made by the manufacturer of the fabric, so is exactly the same stuff on our material. Not sure how it compares to the other stuff, but its what we use and recommend to our customers to restore the finish.
Fjallraven and Filson also make refinishing wax. It looks like all of the brands use the same two ingredients (paraffin and bees wax), so whatever is easy to get or on sale.

That's the same stuff the Brits used in their waxed canvas jackets and trousers. It gives the canvas clothing some pretty good water proofing and a smooth texture.
A co-worker bought one of the jackets during the Gulf War. He bought a cheap brand and every time he wore that fucker it smelled like diesel. They probably used extra paraffin to get the wax to smooth out and apply quicker.
Told him not to cheap out, but nooooooo, he wouldn't listen.
When we say “care for,” we don’t mean “keep it looking like you never use it. Learn how to care for your waxed canvas bag without compromising it's integrity.
