## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good medium
*by A***D on April 18, 2025*

The only place I can find water based wax for painting with acrylics is on Amazon. This product is wonderful for adding texture to acrylics.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun alternative to Encaustic Wax.
*by D***3 on November 15, 2022*

I have been experimenting with encaustic techniques lately. I like the result, but it is a messy process and I have 3 cats so can't leave my supplies out.I saw an artist on you tube who uses this so thought I would try it.It is a great product! It gives a depth and shine to your artwork that approximates encaustic, but it isnot as cloudy. You can mix it with watercolor paint or acrylic paint or put it over your finished painting.I love playing with it and plan to purchase more. A little goes a long way, unless you work really big!

### ⭐ Moldy
*by A***R on February 10, 2025*

After a couple of week I started to notice a strange yellowish growth on the top of the product that quickly turned grey. Mold. I called the manufacturer and told them. They claimed to have no knowledge but suggested I scrape off the top layer and use clean tools in it. I had already done that but did it again. Since that communication I have seen maybe a half dozen fellow artists with the same issues of mold. At this point I have skimmed off more than half of it trying to maintain a clean surface. Extremely disappointing as I love the product.
