Translucent compound of waxes and resin to be mixed with oil paint, powdered pigments, powdered metals, coloured sands, dyes and other compatible fine art materials. Excellent for oil painting, cold wax techniques and mixed media. Can also be used as a protective coating for paintings, wood, plastic, metal objects or photos. Unexcelled as a matte finish protective and permanent sealing medium. Resists cracking and dries more quickly than oil paints used by themselves. To use, thin wax medium to a flowing consistency with turpentine and/or poppy seed oil. Note: this product is not recommended to be used for hot wax painting because of the possibility of fire and the release of toxic fumes when the solvent is heated.
