1. Melt the WAX and RESIN in 50%-50%
ratio in a bowl with heater. 2. Fill the CANTING with the mixture
of WAX and RESIN
3. Draw the wax on a white
fabric. The fabric can be cotton or silk. The process has to be
fast and accurate because the wax will cool down fast and cannot
be corrected once applied. |
