Sennelier Beeswax 100g

Sennelier Beeswax is a pure natural wax used in many recipes, it can be utilised as a medium in oil paints in small amounts, especially to make buttery paints for dense colours such as Flake White. Beeswax melts at about 63? and is soluble cold in turpentine or white spirits. It is also used as a matting agent in varnishes (also in small amounts). Beeswax is heat-sensitive and is used for making encaustic paints. As a binder, it has a good stabilising effect, especially if the works are stored in favourable conditions. Supplied as small pellets.
