Min duration 1 h

Environment Indoor

Layer and fuse pigmented molten beeswax onto a rigid panel with a heat gun or torch, building up luminous, textured surfaces that can be polished, incised, or embedded with collage materials.

The Essentials

  • Work in a well-ventilated space since melted wax releases fumes
  • Keep a heat gun or iron handy to fuse layers between coats
  • Apply wax in thin layers rather than one thick coat for durability
  • Protect your work surface — wax drips and hardens quickly
  • Experiment with scraping and carving into layers for texture
