This product is perfect for my project. I used it to back cathedral windows in a diorama and it gave a realistic stained glass effect. Very happy with my purchase.

Exactly what I was looking for and ordered. Made my work a lot easier. Will definitely order again if needed. Very satisfied.

I've already gone through a gallon with my cold wax painting and now I have another. I prefer the Dorland brand since it works just as well as the other and is less expensive. I love the consistency of cold wax with oil paint mixed in and using a bowl scraper to paint is a wonder. I also use a brush on some, but the effects you can get with cold wax and the scraper are amazing and so much fun!
