Some other tips for when using Tim Holtz Distress Foundry Wax:

  • Use in a well-ventilated area. 
  • If you have sensitive skin, wearing gloves is recommended while using it.
  • Replace the cap once you pour it out of the bottle since the air makes it harden.
  • Before heating the Foundry Wax, make sure the bottles are not near your heat source since heat can cause the wax to harden.
  • Tim Holtz Distress Foundry Wax can be used on paper, metal, wood, 3-D printing, glass, resin pieces, and any surfaces that can withstand heat. The darker the surface, the more dramatic the metallic will look. It makes a great accent on all your craft and mixed media projects.

How is Distress Foundry Wax different from embossing powder?

Embossing Powder is tiny granules of plastic in a powder form that needs to be applied to a substrate with embossing ink to make it stick before you can melt it. Typically, you would apply embossing ink to a stamp, press it onto cardstock, pour the powder over the image, remove the excess, and heat it with an embossing tool until it melts. Embossing powder melts at varying temperatures starting at about 300°F.
Foundry Wax is a one-step application that starts as a liquid, and the more you work with it, it becomes thick like a paste. You apply it to a surface with a brush and heat it to make it solid and metallic. The wax will melt between 180-190°F. Once the heat is removed and it cools, then it will harden. It will re-melt at that temperature, too, if you re-heat it. You wouldn’t use it with a stamp because it has a short open time, and you may not get the results you want, and your stamp may be hard to clean.

Does Foundry Wax need to be sealed?

Foundry Wax becomes permanent when heated and does not need to be sealed.

Do you always have to use Foundry Wax as a top coat?

The typical use of Foundry Wax is to accent raised edges, but you can use it as a resist. You can apply the wax as a bottom layer and then use dye ink pads or sprays over the top and wipe off any excess ink.

Is Foundry Wax Food Safe?

Foundry Wax is a product that should be used only for decorative crafts and mixed media projects. Please do not use it on plates, cups, or anything that will contact food or drinks.

How do you clean Foundry Wax off your work surface and tools?

You can use hand sanitizer or isopropyl alcohol to clean your hands, work surface, or tools.

How do you store Foundry Wax?

It is best to store Foundry Wax on its side for quicker mixing. The wax hardens at about 180-190°F. Please do not leave it in your car or where the bottles could be exposed to extreme hot temperatures.
