Liberon verdigris wax

(1/1)

iantivenan:
Hi
I have a tin of green liberon verdigris wax that I use now and then, but it's becoming dry in the tin, could anyone give me advice on what to add to make it easier to use. I looked at the liberon website but it didn't give any advice.
Thank you.
Ian.

You should be able to add some gum turpentine, and then let it sit for a while to give the turps a chance to penetrate the wax. If it was just wax, you could try heating it up gently, but I am not sure whether that will cause the verdigris particles to fall out. You might have to heat it until it's liquid (in a water bath!!!) and then stir it until it's all a homogeneous mixture, and let it set while stirring.

iantivenan:
Thanks fuzzy
I'll try the gum turpentine.
Ian.

Bryan Milham:
Not Liberon and not Verdigris wax, but I had the same issue with Chestnut Gilding Wax, Terry (of Chestnut) suggested exactly what Fuzzy said and it worked wonders, but it must be turpentine.

Lazurus:
Has anyone tried the verdigris was on steel, does it give any sort of Finish without an porous substrate?
