Larry,I have found that pre-heating the leather to 150-180 deg. F is an essential step in the process of getting the leather to absorb the wax. If you skip that step, you will get a drippy wax coating on the outside of the leather. This extends to the inside (pouch) of the sheath as well- with blobs that will come off on your knife blade.
