This wax medium has a higher content of Damar Resin than Enkaustikos Wax Medium, giving it a thicker consistency when liquified. It also has a sticky tack while drying for easy texture build-up and will stay pliable for a longer time than Wax Medium. Once cooled, however, XD Wax Medium is resistant to surface alterations from scraping or incising and offers a harder, glossier film. Like Wax Medium, XD Wax Medium can be used as a base coat, wax paint extender for glazing, and it's especially useful as a topcoat. If you want to achieve a glass-like surface with a single topcoat, this is the product to use. A rigid support is recommended when using XD Wax Medium.
