| This encaustic medium is made with unbleached beeswax and damar resin (crystals) in a ratio of 5 parts wax to 1 part damar. Damar is a hardening agent, making the wax more durable and less likely to develop ‘bloom' - that whitish sheen that naturally occurs on beeswax. Simply add oil pigment or coloured blocks to create encaustic paint. See 'FAQ's for more details. The medium is then poured into 1 lb (454 g) blocks.
