how do I remove the wax from the thing?? its really cool but i dunno how to take the wax of :S am i supposed to take it off?

[colinyon]

we remove it by boiling it with hot water and soda. But you have to fix the color with sodium silicate before that.

It is just a Chinese brush, same for the Chinese calligraphy

@NJSCR I have heard if you iron it off that works. First lay ontop of it a piece of cloth you don't care about and then iron it. I haven't ever done it though and I hope you have found out by now LOL

boil in hot water + soda ash. It will remove the wax

be4 boil, add sodium silicate to prevent the color from fading..

Blank news print or very old used news paper (make sure no ink comes off news paper) place a few layers underneath and on top place hot iron on top of paper Do Not Slide just place wait a few seconds repeat over painting replace paper until no more wax seaps into paper your done or can go further and take to Dry Cleaner after taking wax out
