Over the years I have used various types of waxes, including water-based (like DecoArt Metallic Lustre), turps based (like Treasure Gold, and Rub-n-buff) and the newer composition using beeswax (like the Finnabair Metallique Waxes). Then the Ranger Foundry Wax entered the scene. This is a totally different type of wax because it has to be heated to activate. It is in a class of its own with its high metallic shine which can be made brighter by subsequent applications, or less shine by not using so much. The method of applying is different in that it dries very quickly and you need to work with only a couple of drops at a time but until you heat it with a heat gun, it's quite dull and not permanent.
I've used it in various ways as shown in my samples below, listed in order: on a plastic snake, on the corrugated card and on a black die-cut, on plastic spiders and smooshed onto a background, dabbed onto a coloured die-cut and added to a piece of string, wiped over a dry-embossed white background and finally wiped onto the raised areas of a black dry-embossed background.
If you click on the pictures, they will come up much clearer and with more detail.
