  1. #Waterproof #Boots and #Shoes:

    1 pound boiled #Linseed oil
    2 oz of #Wax
    2 oz of #Turpentine
    1 oz burgundy #Pitch

    Melt over a slow fire.

    With this, [rub onto] new Shoes & Boots in the #Sun with a #Sponge [until] dry.
    [Repeat] until fully #Saturated.

    Then the #Leather is #Impervious to wet.
    The shoes and boots last longer, acquire softness and #Pliability & are the most effective against #Cold.
