Description: Powerwax is a cold water based wax, an artist’s medium that can be combined with all kinds of materials such as pigments, powders, metallic pigments, 3D Sand, sand, Easy3Dflex, bisters, all water-based colorants, acrylic paint etc. The wax can be di- luted with water as well as mixed with Powertex. It’s like a heavy gel medium paste which dries transparent, when not mixed with colors. Powerwax does not contain VOC (volatile substances), can be heated without harmful effects. This wax can be applied on all absorbent substrates such as Powertex paintings, gypsum, Powertex structures, canvas, wood, wooden frames, furniture, as a protective layer on paper and photos.

To Use: Use a pallet knife to mix Powerwax with a dye of your choice. You could use Powercolor, Colortricx, Bister, or acrylic paint. The coverage depends on the amount of dye that you add. Apply the coloured wax with a pallet knife, sponge, brush or just the fingers, each tool gives a different effect. “The sky is the limit”. If necessary, take away excess with a palette knife or sponge. Powder pigments will appear more intense with the wax than when they are dry. Crackles can be filled, either transparent or coloured wax.

Different effects: * For a transparent effect: add water or powertex transparent. * Adding Bister gives a transparent/translucent effect on the underlying layers. * Semi-transparent mysterious effect: add a bit Powertex Ivory (or white) into to the wax. * To create a structural medium or “heavy gel” with PowerWax mix it with all kinds of natural absorbent powders such as 3D sand, 3Dflex, or a lot of pigment and sculpt with palette knife. * For a uniform layer, use a paint roller. * You can scratch into wet or dry wax with all kinds of sharp objects to reveal underlying layers

To Finish: Dry time depends on the thickness of the layer. You can polish the piece with a soft cloth; this gives the work a deeper shine, closes the pores of the wax and provides an optimal protection and waterproof. Wash your tools with soap and hot water.
