- Reviewed in Canada on June 17, 2025Verified PurchaseFirst time using this recommended product. It meets all my expectations. Easy to use and effective.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 7, 2025Verified PurchaseYou need to be careful to apply thick over dark paint and feather the wax out. I used a paper towel and smudged some of the darker paint but left it as a feature as if it were a background wash. After I applied liberally at first and smoothe it out from the darker areas to the light. Possibly a soft brush would have been better to apply it.

- Reviewed in Canada on December 5, 2024Verified PurchaseUsed to protect watercolor paintings.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 6, 2023Verified PurchaseI found out about this product by accident while looking at watercolour videos online. It is great! I made over 150 watercolour bookmarks for Christmas gifts...I thought I would have to spray them to protect them...but then I found this wax.
It goes on super easy.... and you don't need a lot. Once it dries it buffs up beautifully and is water resistant...so glad I discovered this great product!
- Reviewed in Canada on November 17, 2017Verified PurchaseThe product arrived safely. It was slow coming to me. I was anxious to try it out on my mixed media art projects. So far I'm satisfied with the results and I'm looking forward to doing more.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 20, 2023Verified PurchaseIt protects watercolor from water damage nicely. It does not make the painting look odd, if anything it brings the depth of color back into it as if it were wet. It takes very little product to cover an 8.5x10.5 surface ( I covered edge to edge)
- Reviewed in Canada on May 21, 2023Verified PurchaseIt is exactly what they say, a large jar of cold wax that I am using to protect my watercolour pictures. It doesn't take very much for a painting so it sould last a while. When buffed it leaves a slightly glossy look, I don't mind it isn't bad and if you want a flat finish just don't buff it. Would buy again.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2024Verified PurchaseIt makes my watercolours look beautiful with a transparent matte finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff.
Verified PurchaseI love this stuff. I came across it from someone who was using it to seal watercolour bookmarks in a journal. This is just what I needed. It¡¯s great stuff. I am making oracle cards and was using Mod Podge but they didn¡¯t come out so good and the cards kept sticking together. So I tried this and it¡¯s perfect for sealing watercolour. So easy to use. I left it overnight to dry to make sure and I¡¯m very happy with the more professional finish than using messy Mod Podge! So glad I bought the big pot, even though a little goes a long way.
