In this post I will show you how to waterproof your wolverine costume and save yourself some trouble.
Wolverine is probably one of the best known super heroes out there, and on Halloween it is one of the most popular costumes. The problem is that most costumes are made of a cheap material that gets soaked up in water like a sponge. This makes it not only uncomfortable for the wearer, but also ruins the costume.
So here’s what you need to do:
1. Buy a waterproofing spray from your local hardware store. There are a few different brands out there, but the one I use is called “Aqua Armor”. It comes in an aerosol can (like spray paint), and it’s very easy to apply. You can get it for about $15 a can, which should last you quite a while if applied properly. If you want to waterproof more than just your wolverine costume then I recommend buying several cans so that each piece of clothing gets its own coat of protection.
2. Put on your wolverine costume (or other clothing). This will make it easier to apply the spray evenly over all areas without getting any on yourself by accident! If possible try spraying outside where there won’t be any
Congratulations on the purchase of your wolverine costume! We know you can’t wait to get out there and show everyone how much you love Wolverine. But, where are you going to wear it? Well, one place that you might want to avoid is the beach.
Wolverine is no stranger to water, but if your wolverine costume isn’t ready for a dip in the ocean, then you could be in big trouble. That’s why we’ve put together this handy guide to waterproofing your wolverine costume.
1) Check seams and fasteners: Make sure there are no loose threads that could come undone and unravel your suit. Also make sure all zippers and buttons are firmly attached so they don’t fall off when exposed to saltwater.
2) Apply a layer of waterproofing spray: Waterproof sprays can be applied to most fabrics and will make them water resistant without changing their appearance or feel.
3) Reapply as needed: Waterproofing wears off with time and exposure to sunlight, so reapply often!
Even though the sun is shining and the weather is warm that doesn’t mean you have to hang up your wolverine costume for the summer. All you need is some waterproofing and a nice pair of swim trunks and you can be wearing that wolverine costume in and around water all summer long!
Waterproofing Your Wolverine Costume
You’re going to need a few things to get started. Most of them are pretty common household items. Gather up a large mixing bowl, a whisk, some flour and a big spoon. You’ll also need three packs of unflavored gelatin and two cups of water.
When you have everything you need, start heating up the two cups of water in your microwave. Make sure it gets good and hot but don’t let it boil! Once the water is nice and hot, add the gelatin packets one at a time while you stir with the whisk. After all three packets are added, continue stirring for about 30 seconds or until all of the gelatin has dissolved into the water.
Now it’s time to add the flour! Add it slowly while continuing to mix with your whisk or spoon. When all of the flour has been added, set aside your mixing bowl for approximately

Why it’s important
Wolverine is a tough guy. But even he has his limits when it comes to water damage. Don’t let your hard work go to waste because you didn’t waterproof your costume. This guide will teach you how to make your Wolverine costume water-resistant so you can have fun in the sun without getting wet!
Step 1: Get a Waterproofing Spray
The first thing you need to do is get a waterproofing spray. Some people have had luck with Scotchgard or other fabrics sealants, but I’ve found that they don’t work very well on spandex, which is what most wolverine costumes are made out of these days. You’re better off using something like ReviveX, which is designed specifically for use on spandex and other synthetic materials. The important thing is that whatever product you choose should be easy to apply and dry quickly so that it doesn’t ruin your costume’s look or feel once applied!
Step 2: Test Out Your Product in a Small
It’s summertime and the living is easy. The kids are out of school, the days are long, and everyone is heading for the nearest body of water. You can’t blame them. Water is fun, refreshing and if you happen to be a mutant with razor-sharp claws and an unquenchable thirst for vengeance, it’s also the perfect environment in which to unleash your bloodlust on unsuspecting swimmers.
Of course, this means that if you’re going to be wading into the surf with your claws at the ready, you’ll need a costume that can stand up to salt water without losing its shape or its shine. Fortunately, no matter how much of a last-minute shopper you might be (or how little experience you might have with sewing), we’ve got your back. Here are a few tips to make sure your Wolverine costume will look great all summer long.
Cotton is not your friend
You really don’t want to wear cotton in the water. Not only does it absorb moisture like crazy, but it also tends to get stiffer when it’s wet, making it uncomfortable (and potentially dangerous) for swimming or fighting super villains. Choose a synthetic fabric instead – nylon or spandex works well – which will dry much
The Wolverine costume is the coolest of the X-Men costumes, but it’s also the most difficult to do properly. It doesn’t help that I live in Florida, where it’s hot and humid for about eight months out of the year. All that sweat can wreck even the best of costumes.
I’ve been a fan of all things Marvel since I was a kid, and when I found out that my local comic book store was hosting a Halloween costume contest, I decided to take the opportunity to dress up as Wolverine. After some research on how to do this right, I discovered that most people who make Wolverine costumes use pleather (which is just leather-like polyester). The pleather is cool enough, but it’s not exactly waterproof. So I decided to waterproof my costume before ever wearing it.
It took me two days, but in the end it was worth it: I won and took home $250! In this post I’ll show you how you can waterproof your Wolverine costume with simple household items so you can avoid getting soaked in sweat next time you wear it.
