Because the damar is in its raw state, as it comes from the tree, to make your own encaustic medium the damar must be melted with the beeswax and strained to remove impurities.

This 8/1 blend of White Filtered Beeswax and Damar Resin is perfect for encaustic applications. It comes in easy-to-measure pellets. Can be used alone for collage techniques or be mixed with any encaustic paints or pigments. 1 lb
