4.0 out of 5 stars For sealing gouache paintings
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2023
It works exactly as I expected for sealing gouache, protects the paintings very well from moisture and is easy to apply, I used a gloved finger to rub the wax onto the surface. The only issue is that it darkens the colors significantly, some more than others. I don't know if I'll be using this to seal all of my paintings, since the valuse shifts unpredictability, but I thought I'd include pictures for anyone who is thinking of using cold wax for the same purpose. Photos were taken directly after wax was applied, I'll update my review if there is any change.
