Judy and Listmembers,
The use of Renaissance wax has been discussed a few times on the list over
the past few years. I like the appearance very much.
However, have we ever had a definitive answer from a conservator ( or
similarly informed professional) about its archival consequences?
I'd hate to have my prints turn yellow shortly after getting a Genius grant
or something.
A cursory search of the archives did not provide an answer.
Tom

The Renaissance wax is used right from the can... a little goes a very
long way, so extra cost, if any, not great....
