Jackson’s Cold Wax Medium is a versatile non-yellowing medium for oil colors that imparts a translucent matte luster. It can also be mixed with a wide range of mediums such as powdered pigments, powdered metals, colored sands, dyes and other compatible fine art materials.
Made from a mixture of beeswax and resin, this medium will strengthen the paint film against shrinkage and cracking and protect it from impurities such as dirt and moisture. Highly versatile, it can be used as a medium, a pigment binder, a glaze, and a protecting varnish.
Jackson’s Cold Wax Medium improves the luminosity and clarity of colors and should be mixed directly with color before applying it to the painting. It adds translucency to oil paints, making them more vibrant. It can also used as a final coat on dry paintings and buffed to a gloss finish. Thins with turpentine or mineral spirits.
