Tim Holtz Foundry Wax
Heat-activated metallic wax transforms into luminous highlights on any surface
Liquid metallic wax transforms under heat, creating brilliant highlights that shift from matte pigment to lustrous finish in seconds. This technique works across porous and non-porous surfaces, paper, canvas, wood, metal, even glass, making it versatile for mixed media artists who layer different materials. The fluid consistency allows precise placement with a dry brush or direct finger application, giving you control whether highlighting raised textures or adding deliberate accents.
Each kit pairs complementary metallics for cohesive effects. Kit 1 combines warm Gilded and earthy Mined tones; Kit 2 offers cool Sterling with aged Statue patina. Apply drops to a craft sheet, then work the wax onto your surface before applying heat. The transformation happens fast, watch as heat activates the metallic particles, intensifying color and creating dimensional shine that catches light. This responsiveness makes foundry wax particularly effective for art journal pages, assemblage pieces, and altered surfaces where metallic emphasis needs to feel intentional rather than uniform.
The 0.5-ounce bottles provide concentrated pigment that goes further than you'd expect. Keep them away from heat sources between uses, and consider wearing gloves if you have skin sensitivity. The mixing ball ensures consistent pigment distribution, shake until it rattles before each session.
