Name: R&F Hot Plates and Palette Cups
Brand: R & F
Rating: 4.4 (8 reviews)

The R&amp;F Hot Plates are the perfect tool for working with encaustic paints. They provide a platform on which to keep knives and brushes warm and ready for use. They also make a great heated surface for mixing colors. 
  The aluminum plate is available in 12&quot;&nbsp;&times; 12&quot; (30&nbsp;cm&nbsp;&times; 30&nbsp;cm) with a 1/4&quot; (6.4&nbsp;mm) thick surface, or 16&quot;&nbsp;&times; 16&quot; (41&nbsp;cm&nbsp;&times; 41&nbsp;cm) with a 3/8&quot; (9.5&nbsp;mm) thick surface. The surfaces are made of thick aluminum steel alloy and have been anodized to prevent discoloration of several of the light pigments. Heat is conducted evenly across the entire surface, making the plates ideal for use with palette cups (sold separately),&nbsp;or for mixing colors directly on the surface. Both Hot Plates include a heat source.


**16'' x 16''**  - This Hot Plate features adjustable legs and also includes an attached brush holder.


**Large, 3 7/8'' x 2 1/2'', Rectangular, Pkg of 3**  - This pack includes three large rectangular palette cups. Each cup measures 3-7/8'' × 2-1/2'' (9.8 cm × 6.4 cm) and holds one full-size R&F encaustic cake for easy melting. Caution: a full-size cake will overflow the cup if completely melted.

R&F Encaustic Paints - Introductory Set of 6, 40 ml blocks

Encaustic paints have recently achieved popularity as an alternative to oil and acrylic paints. A very spontaneous and versatile medium, encaustics can be modeled, layered, sculpted, textured, and even combined with collage materials. No drying time is required. 
  The fine quality and exquisite visual properties of R&amp;F Encaustic Paints are owed to the dedicated labor process. R&amp;F carefully mixes pigment, pure beeswax, and damar resin. Each color is heavily pigmented and carefully milled. Because no solvents are used, many health hazards associated with other art materials are eliminated. 
  The beeswax contained in R&amp;F Encaustic Paints makes them impervious to moisture, and thus highly durable. Over time, your art retains all the freshness of a newly finished work. 
  Encaustics are applied molten with a brush and then fused into the painting with a heat source. It is best to use encaustic paints on a rigid and absorbent surface. 
  Work done with encaustics does not need to be varnished or protected by glass. A mild buffing with a soft cloth will bring the surface to a beautiful luster.
