We selected a high quality, food grade, microcrystalline wax which is a
complicated carbon based wax. It is characterized with minute
crystalline branching in its molecules which allows it to blend better
with beeswax and oil colors than paraffin waxes which are simple,
straight carbon based chains. Microcrystalline wax is also more flexible
than paraffin making it ideal for building up layers of textures on
your painting. This ensures the quality and integrity of your paint
film. Microcrystalline wax melts at a higher temperature (170 to 180
degrees F) than our paints and beeswax (143 to 150 degrees) allowing you
to apply encaustic paint over the modeled surface with minimal
disturbance to the bottom sculpted surface.
