R & F Handmade Paints - Encaustic Palette Cups

Encaustic Palette Cups

Melt multiple colors simultaneously while keeping each hue pristine

Large rectangular aluminum and steel palette cups eliminate the constant remelting that interrupts your workflow. Each cup holds an entire 40ml studio-size encaustic cake, letting you work with substantial quantities of a single color without running short mid-session. The heavy metal alloy construction distributes heat evenly across the base, maintaining consistent melting temperature without hot spots that can scorch pigments.

Keep your primaries pure in dedicated cups, or use them to preserve custom mixes you've developed, the rectangular shape maximizes surface area for efficient melting while the 1.75-inch depth provides room for layering techniques. The durable alloy withstands repeated heating cycles on palette warmers without warping or degrading, maintaining reliable performance through years of studio use.

At 2.88 inches wide by 4.25 inches long, these cups fit standard palette configurations while offering more capacity than typical round wells. Sold in packs of three, they give you immediate flexibility to organize your working palette by color temperature, opacity, or project-specific mixes. For encaustic painters who work in sustained sessions rather than quick studies, these cups transform your palette from a mixing station into a reliable paint reservoir.
