Zest-it® Cold Wax Painting Medium
|
The Zest-it Cold Wax Painting Medium is a smooth, thick, firm paste and the reference to 'cold' is because it does not need or require heat. Mix with Oil paint to give texture and add more substance to the oil paint, makes impasto easier to achieve and speeds the drying time. Can be used with brush painting knife, shapers, rollers, wedges, silicon blades and tools of your choice. Add pigments, powdered metals, marble dust and other fine art materials to increase the visual depth and surface finish. Apply to canvas, paper, mdf, gesso'ed board or panel, birch ply panel, waxed raw canvas or other material of your choice. |

It dries to a very cohesive and stable finish that can be 'varnished' with a coat of Cold Wax, or just buffed with a soft cloth, or left 'as is'. It is non-flammable and not classes as a hazardous product, therefore does not need or require an (M)SDS. Most other Cold Wax's use a flammable solvent like OMS, Thinners or similar. It does not contain any Aromatics or CFC's, it is also biodegradable and is therefore kinder to the environment, it is also non-toxic. It can travel by road, sea or air, which makes it an excellent accompaniment if you are going on a painting holiday (depending on the airline) or travelling to a workshop. Sizes available - 80 gm; 150 gm; 320 gm 840 gm and 1.25 Kg
