Rublev Colours Wax Paste is made with beeswax and odorless mineral spirits. A soft paste formulated to make oil colors thicker and more matte. It can be used as a final varnish over a painting or mixed with varnish to reduce gloss.
Rublev Colours Wax Paste cuts the glossy appearance of oil paints, giving them a more satin finish while extending the drying time of paints, making them thicker and more workable for extended periods. You may add wax paste to oil when grinding pigments when making your own oil colors. The wax helps to give the paint a buttery consistency and guards against oil separating from pigment. We do not recommend adding more than 20% to oil paint as wax retards drying and makes oil paint susceptible to solvents.
