waxing / coating jeans

[diamonds]

by silicone, I mean silicone softener. It's what is used by wash houses to soften t-shirts. It looks like you used sillicone rubber to "wax" those jeans. I think there is silicone in Armour All. The insustrial products used by wash houses smell and look exactly like Armour All. Again, just info for you DIY'ers out there. Try mixing Armour All with various glues.

yeah that's exactly what we used. waterproof as fuck

painting clothes with ordinary wallpaint works too. After a couple of washes it cracks up nicely as well. make sure it's waterbased latex paint.

my 2c

to get an even coat water down / thin down what ever you are using and stick it in a pump spray bottle, like what you would spray fertilizer with. works with paints, varnishes, liquid latex lots of stuff... all you need is a spray booth. (i peg garment on clothes line and blast it)

i commissioned a wholesaler in hk to coat a few hundred yards of drill for me, they added a micro film of latex and its awesome. it looks and feels like wax but isnt as temperamental.. not gonna come off on yer sofa etc. it is completly crap to work with though the coating builds up on the machine needle and makes stuff go wrong

the wax m lowry mentioned is fun to use, products like sno seal applied to areas to look like you have been working in some trade the butcher the baker the candlestick maker type thing and even though it still feels greasy it doesnt rub off on other stuff

and spray cans,, random stuff from the hardware store not just paints, stuff you can spray on and itll make a big greasy smelly mess but then you wash it and itll leave a nice stain and or coating

So a friend and I have attempted to make silicon coated jeans with some black calking before:




This was our first attempt, so it's a bit sloppy but we learned a lot... I think if we ever do it again we'll mix the silicon with some paint thinner or try to use a lot less (we went a little heavy as you can see).

you made your own viridi anne coated jeans, saved a couple hundred bucks

These look great. I like the idea of the wax being so thick as it will crack and wear down really well as a result. Bravo!

haha I did exactly the same last year for my art work in school. Yours looks better tho .. Mine still stinks one year after applying the silicone!!

I wax coated some cheap grey jeans I had. In the end, the mixture ended up a bit thicker than I'd have wanted but after wearing the jeans a few times, they've softened up. They turned out great though, they are often mistaken for leather.

I dont know if I should just post them here or start a thread as these jeans are not my last coating venture.

Yikes!! keep on trying
