Make sure the skate is dry - best to be off the ice for at least 24 hours. If the sole is not completely dry you will seal in moisture. For best results; preheat clean and dry boots or shoes (use heat lamp, sunny window, or hair dryer). Do not heat beyond comfortable handling temperature of 120°F. Rub Sno-Seal into leather liberally. The warm leather will melt the Sno-Seal and draw it deep into the pores and fibers.

Apply as much Sno-Seal as the leather will absorb. Don't forget to apply on the bottom of the skate around the blade plate. Remove excess wax with a rag.

Sno-Seal Beeswax waterproofing lubricates leather and protects against drying and deterioration for longer than greases, oils and animal fats. Sno-Seal is a natural wax and, unlike other products, will never weaken, decay, or break down the leather or stitching and seams.

CAUTION: will somewhat darken all leather. Not recommended for suede leather. If used on suede it will darken and flatten the nap, changing the appearance.
