		Wax & Waxing Tools
	Using wax as a resist is usually called Batik. Waxes have different characteristics to choose from for Batik. Paraffin wax cracks a lot and when used by itself can flake right off the fabric. Beeswax and Sticky wax crack very little. Batik wax is a premade 85/15 mixture of Paraffin and Sticky wax that crackles just right. By mixing waxes you can control the amount of cracking. Soy wax is our latest addition, water soluble, fume free and a renewable resource, but read about it before you choose, as it has it's limitations in traditional Batik. continued...

Bees Wax Pellets - 3.5 oz

Pellets are far easier to portion out than smashing up a 1 lb. slab, and they even melt down faster than larger chunks.

Soy Wax Flakes

All natural Soy Wax is a fume free, renewable resource alternative to petroleum based waxes for batik and even scrap booking needs!
