Then, that softened, liquid wax is applied
onto the fabric prior to being dished in a colored dye.
The basic premise behind the use of wax is that the
areas on the fabric where the wax has soaked itself
will not get infiltrated by the colored dye.
Few methods of applying wax onto the fabric are the
use of a special brush, hammering the wax directly on
the fabric and putting the boiled and liquefied wax
to an already designed timber slab or block and then
quickly pounding onto the fabric. After all the work,
batik painting is hanged up on a wire to get dry.
