That's it, that's what I'm looking for. Peter Beard in his book on
resist techniques says that wax emulsion resist is just wax, vaseline
and water but goes no further. I experimented with this and ended up
with thin 'Ucerin' which I can confidently now tell you how to make but
am no closer to cold wax emulsion.
Any ideas
I've been using a mix of 1/2 White glue (like Elmer's) and 1/2 water
which works pretty well. I like the fact that it's not a "hard" barrier.
Some of the material to be resisted, in this case terra-sigilatta, get's
through and makes for some nice random patterning. Acylic Floor wax,
especially if it's fairly stiff and a bit foamy (took two years of
sitting forgotten on a shelf to get it stiffish!) also works well with
even better random patterning.
