I bought a can of stuff (from the shop we'd bought the drizabone at) to re-coat it after washing - you just rub it on i think - never got my swmbo to use it - it was his Drizabone i'd washed, after all.

Eric,
Warm the Tin of Driza-bone Oil in Boiling Water then Paint it on every ware especially on the Seams then use SWMBO’s Hair-Dryer to get the white-ish finish off it then store the Coat Flat in a Placky Bag. Too Easy you may need a big tin depending on the Coat size…………
