Learn something new everyday. Never heard of this before Mr. Ed. Can't wait to see how this turns out for ya. Thanks for showing us about this idea. Hope you have a great rest of the week!
Thanks guys! With all the nasty weather in our extended forecast I thought if I'm gonna get anything done I'm gonna have to get prepared. If it works as well as they say it should do the trick. Appreciate you watching!
Interesting video, really enjoyed it!
That was great! I bet those work great, might be on my todo list now :) take care buddy!
Aw man that's downright cool Mr. Pratt! If it works out good, I just might have to try that myself on a pair of pants!
I'm very excited to see how they work. They will be very cheap to make. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.
Very neat! I might need some of those myself.
I think this clothing will be very useful. Thank you for watching!!
I've been on Filson's..and after looking at the reviews and the pricing, I've come to the conclusion that I will, just like you, be making my own.
I love my Filson double tins, but after realizing I could take a pair of carhartts or dickies and get the same results, for 1/4 of the price, I will be making my own from now on
I read this week Filson is made in China now. Not sure how true it is, but thats what I read.
@@rubiconoutdoors3492 that is the way a lot of these companies are nowadays. All for the almighty dollar and the stockholders. I hope they choke on their next dinner.
Man of many talents. I sure hope those don't somehow end up in the laundry! LOL
Oh my that would be grounds for divorce! Thanks! I hope things are getting better with the contract at work.
Pratts Greenhouse Yes sir, but it's a slow process. Honestly, I'm a country boy not a Union man. Be safe and good luck with the brush.
Just waxed my canvass jacket: 2 parts parafin, 2 parts beeswax, 1 part walnut oil. Paint it on, used a propane torch to melt it in. Love it. Waaaay cheaper than filson and other tinned clothes!
Very interesting stuff Ed. Never heard of this before. Thanks for showing us the process, can’t wait to see the results brother.
Thanks Doug! I'm very excited to see how well they work. It will be very cheap to do after the initial cost of getting started.
Up date video on the paints after a year??
I've got a cap that has been waxed. keeps the rain out but it sure is warm.
I have heard winter wear only. I may gun hunt in them as well. Thanks Rob!
Well, how did they come out?
Enjoyed the video Ed .... know what you mean about the cost of those pants ... seems like they would be good for deer season ... all the best!
Mike Cox I think they will get used for hunting if they are ready in time. Thanks for your view and comment.
Pretty good video. Would love an update.
poulson821751 you can see them in action in my last video The bluff 2. They worked great
Adding 50% white spirit allows the mixture to saturate the cotton (particularly the seams) without leaving any wax on the surface and needing to heat and scrape it. I am fairly certain that commercially produced clothing is treated this way.
However, until the white spirit dries fully out, the pants are highly flammable and should never be worn. The mixture should never be heated with or near an open flame and the pants should never be allowed to dry inside an enclosed area where flammable gasses could build up and ignite.
I would suggest carrying out the entire process in the garden.
Thank you for this info. I full intend to try that on the next pair.
wilsjane hey I wanted to let you know the pair I made turned out awesome and you can see them in action in my video the Bluff part 2. I will never be without a pair of these pants again.
Old video so hoping you see this, did you double the mineral spirits for the second pair of pants to get better results? And after a few years would you do this again? Thanks!
2019, and some Yank farmer is capable of making better waterproof pants than anyone can sell on Ebay. My faith in humanity is restored.
TheWtfnonamez yep and this ol yank farmer is starting his second pair. Heck this could go worldwide..
@@prattsgreenhousefarm9473 Good luck brother. Im going to try to make a pair myself!
JNULL0 sent me. Interesting concept. Hope you don't plan on using that pan for anything else ~ like cooking ! hahaha !
Thank you for coming over! Haha yea this pan has one job now. I appreciate you watching and your comment.
Check out greenland wax. You just rub it into the clothes, and hit it with a blow dryer. Fjallraven uses it. Great video
I will check that out. Sounds like a simpler process.
I made my own Greenland wax and applied it hot with a brush.
Hello, i want to ask, hows that pants to touch? Isnt it sticky from the wax? Never have owned any waxed garments, so i am wondering what it will do on car seat or folded in drawer around other work clothes. Thanks
Miro thanks for watching. After they cure for three and they are worn a few times they are dry. I store mine separate in our back room. Nothin fancy just use them like a tool that has its purpose. I love them and won’t be without a pair.
@@prattsgreenhousefarm9473 I wanna make them to use them just like you, like a tool. But when I am working in forest I use my truck a lot, so I was wondering whether that wax mixture will leave stains on car seat cover... thanks for reply
I did not see a follow up video so how did they work
Matthew Zuleger they worked great I made another pair this year and have been very happy with them. Bullet proof!!
Do you think putting this stuff on a fjallraven vidda pro jacket is a good Idea?
Maeve Malo I’m not sure what the material is in that jacket but if it’s any type of material that can absorb liquid I don’t see what it could hurt.
@@prattsgreenhousefarm9473 its 60% Poly and 35% cotton think Its ok?
Maeve Malo I really think it would be.
Did the Tin Pants turn out?
Yes they have worked great. You can see them in action in the bluff 2 video. I plan on using them a lot this spring for mixing soil and other wet dirty jobs. I won’t be without a pair. They are tough as nails.
Recipe starts at 4:54
16 oz wax
Mix together 6oz tung oil finish, 2 oz of pure tung oil, 8 oz of mineral spirits. Melt wax then add the oil mixture
Good thing you don’t live in California! :)
Yes! It is sad what's happening out there..
You stole somebody’s recipe and then complained how he measured his ingredients. I doubt it matters much
Downright Plumbing it may not. But it must have mattered to you.
Downright Plumbing ....Stole his recipe? He put it on TH-cam for everyone to benefit from. There’s a huge difference. The guy made a detailed video to teach people to do it......
