cuerda seca: commercial products

updated tue 8 apr 03

 

Stephani Stephenson on mon 7 apr 03


Hello all
I am doing a tile mural in the cuerda seca technique and
am thinking of using a commercial product for the black/line 'resist'
areas
I am looking at the Axner pen and / or paintable black resist
vs. the Aftosa black wax resist

The Aftosa looks less expensive, at first glance
for those of you who have used one or the other
for this technique.

how do the two compare
with regard to
painting fine lines
(say 1/16 " wide line?
and vs. the traditional manganese/oil medium.

sincerely
Stephani Stephenson
