## Overview

R&F Handmade Paints Encaustic Medium is a 10-pound, pigment-free blend of pharmaceutical-grade beeswax and Singapore damar resin designed for encaustic painting. It melts between 158°F and 166°F, enabling artists to create transparent or opaque layers that preserve underlying details. This medium is moisture-resistant, durable, and versatile—perfect for mixed media, sculptural work, and reworking paintings years later. Available in multiple sizes and proudly made in the USA, it’s the trusted choice for professional encaustic artists seeking lasting, high-gloss finishes without the need for varnish.

## Description

R&F Encaustic Medium 10-pounds is encaustic paint without the pigment. It is used to extend colors in order to create transparencies. The damar in this medium helps prevent blooming and maintain the hardness of the film. R&F Encaustic paint is composed of 100% pure pharmaceutical grade beeswax, Singapore-grade damar resin and chemically pure pigments. Beeswax is impervious to moisture making encaustic paint extremely durable. There is no need to varnish or protect your painting with glass. It will not deteriorate, yellow or darken. Encaustic paint is kept molten on a heated palette. It is then applied to an absorbent surface and is fused to create a variety of effects. Encaustic goes from a liquid to solid state and back again in seconds giving you the opportunity to add layers without disrupting your composition. Once the surface has cooled, the paint has reached a permanent finish, but with heat, you can revise and rework your painting minutes or years later! This highly versatile medium can be polished to a high gloss, carved, scraped, layered, collaged, dipped, cast, modeled, sculpted, textured and combined with oil.

Review: Fabulous product - This is my favorite encaustic medium. I like that it is in pellat form so that I can add in small or larger quantities depending on what I am working on.
Review: Great encaustic medium - Love this encaustic medium! I’m going through a lot these days. Enough to warrant putting it on subscribe and save, and able to save a little bit of $$. It’s pretty hot out right now, and it did kind of stick together (boxes were out in the driveway for a couple of hours)—but really not bad as the melting temp is much higher than regular beeswax. I’ll be able to knock the bag against the counter and break it back up into pellets. My point in telling you all of this is to let you know, that even if you order in the summer, and it’s 90F or so, the wax medium will still be fine.
