I purchased beeswax from the art material supplier Daniel Smith about a year
ago, did a primitive test at the time and have not tried it since. I have
become interested in the waxing technique again and would like to apply it to
platinum as well as gelatin silver prints (on matte paper, particularly the
Bergger Silver Supreme).

Looking for guidance from my fellow list members as to:

• Appropriate solvent(s) or thinner(s) for the beeswax
• Application technique
• Protection of surface and proper storage after wax application

I had tried damar varnishes but did not like the results.

Any feedback would be very helpful.

Thank you,
Vasilios Zatse
