Langridge Encaustic Wax

Langridge Encaustic Wax is created using a high performance, modern formulation of Refined Beeswax and Castor Wax. Encaustic Wax will enable artists to fully explore the possibilities of this popular rediscovered painting technique. Encaustic Wax is the encaustic paint without pigment.
Langridge incorporates Castor Wax to raise the melting temperature to make the wax less susceptible to heat damage, making it more durable. The hard wax also allows the encaustic to be polished to a high gloss, giving it more depth and intensity. It can be used to extend existing encaustic colours, to create transparent glazes or on its own for creating translucent layers. The use of metal tins, pots or muffin trays for holding the molten colours is recommended.
