Enkaustikos Slick Wax

This unique synthetic wax was formulated for cleaning your brushes, tools, and even your palette surface between encaustic color changes. Enkaustikos Slick Wax eliminates the need for any type of solvent in your studio. Simply have a tin of melted slick wax available on your hot palette during the entire painting process and you will be able to avoid color contamination. When you want to move from one color to another, simply rinse your brush in the slick wax and wipe off any excess wax with a paper towel. The slick wax will have removed the color and you can get right back to painting.

For those who like to color mix on their palette, you can even use the slick wax directly on the palette and with a wipe of a paper towel, you will have a nice clean surface to continue color mixing on. Many encaustic artists can agree that this product is truly essential to any encaustic studio!
