Unless you make your own wax resists you have now way of knowing what is in =
the
mixture.
I use a wax resist which is an opaque white fluid and I wash up my brushes
immediately after using them. Now wax and water are sort of incompatible =
unless
treated with an emulsifier. The stuff I use is a water base emulsion.
Emulsions are easy to make. You can check this by floating some olive or =
cooking
oil on water. Shake, they do not mix. Add a pinch or so of bicarb of soda =
and
shake again. A white emulsion.
So, it would seem as though things can go wrong when wax emulsion is frozen =
or
degraded biologically.
