Features

This leather care product is stored in a cardboard wrapper, the size of a biggish matchbox. They must have spent a fortune on just the magnificent graphic design alone. There can be several colors of wax in this batch, from yellow to red, but the color shouldn’t have an effect on the leather.

We have no clue what’s in this thing. If you stick to the original intended use, you should be quite safe but don’t rub this in your eyes or weenie. And don’t use it as lube or a protein bar, and the possible troglodyte in it won’t cause anything peculiar.

Use

This was originally designed for maintaining and protecting leather slings, belts, pack straps, and other military leather products but it is perfectly suited for civilian leather gear as well. It will also make the leather somewhat water-resistant. However, it won't make your leather thong suitable for bog snorkeling. The wrapper has instructions printed in the beauty and beast of modern languages: French and German. If you don’t speak either one, here’s how you use this stuff in English.

You can use this wax in two ways depending on the condition of the leather. If it only needs a mild treatment, rub the wax onto the outside of the leather and polish vigorously with a (clean) rag. The leather should be dry before the treatment. This treatment shouldn’t color the leather. If the leather is in quite a shitty condition, rub craploads of wax on and melt it with a hairdryer. This will darken the leather to some extent and eats a helluva lot of wax. And it won't reanimate a completely dead item.

Condition

These are unissued Swiss military surplus. So, the wax is unused but the wrappers can be a bit worn in storage. It is also possible that the wax stick has snapped in two during storage but both bits are usable.

I got this with the Swiss shoe-care kit. Pretty good stuff. Hard as a rock and I'm afraid to use it because I thought it'd damage the leather, but evidently not.
Great stuff though.

Tuli Sveitsiläisen hoitosetin mukana, nyt tilasin kaksi pakettia jotka ovat matkalla. BW:n laivaston nahka- tarrakengät tulivat kiiltäväksi kun tätä ja hieman hinkkausta , vedin mokkaosatkin tieteellisen kokeilun merkeissä ja sopi niihinkin , mattamusta lopputulos. Suosittelen ostamaan kun juuri tätä ei ole saatavilla mistään muualta. Hintakin on edullinen eli jos on nahkakengät tai ihan mitä vaan nahkaista , niin hintakaan ei ole este hankinnalle.
Pahvipakkaus mahtuu sen kengänhoitosetin nepparitaskuun.

Excellent material to repair small cracks in epaulettes from a old genuine A2 flying jacket.
After one day, treat the area with a brush. Add with a cloth little bit of Tallipoika leather grease.

Notkeutti oikein hyvin Romanialaisia nahka remmejä. Kätevän kokoinen, niin saa hyvin retkellekkin mukaan jos tarvetta.

Omani oli kuljetuksessa sulanut kuitenkin pakettiin kiinni, ja sen irroittaminen ei ollut mitään helpointa. Samalla meni myös suhteellisen suuri määrä vahaa hukkaan. Enpä voi kyllä Lekaa helteistä syyttää.

Very happy with this stuff! I ordered it along with the Romanian retro rucksack and it really brought the old leather strapping back to life. Little tip: I let the leather heat up in the afternoon sun and applied the REX to it, rubbing it evenly across. Let it all sit and reapplied until all pieces were evenly coated. Lightly rubbed in excess and boom, leather is perfectly usable.

Sveitsiläisessä kengänhoitosetissä tuli mukana yksi tälläinen. Melko kauan näytti siellä olleen, mutta sveitsiläinen nahkavyö ja muijan koirantalutushihna arvosti kyllä siitä huolimatta. Tällä saa todella hyvännäköistä jälkeä.
En oikeen osaa sanoa mihkä yhdestä tälläsest paketist riittäs. Jos maihareita meinaat ruveta vahaileen, suosittelen ottamaan ainakin 2 pakettia varmuuden vuoks.
Tilasin 3 lisää, suosittelen että teet samoin :)

The wax still performs as wax should, but the particular bar I received was used. It was softened up at some point and had a "stab" in the center and one bar section was missing.

Used it on a couple leather sheaths. Its microscopically softer than regular wax. Used it by just rubbing and by melting first.
