Once when I was toying with the idea of waxing prints I was warned
against it by someone who said that the oil in the wax could compromise
the longevity of the paper. Someone at Light Impressions told me that
Renaissance Wax is okay because it's acid-free. So which is true, or
neither? At any rate I too would like to hear what the expert
conservators here think about waxing alternative prints. Thanks.
