This 2" wide silicone brush is specifically for working with encaustic medium on a hot box. It can be used with other media, however, because it is silicone, it will hold up to the heat and has flexible bristles that make it ideal for working on a hot box.

Utilize a kitchen brush with liquid soap and warm water, carefully avoiding tugging at the bristles, and wiping with a paper towel to remove excess paint. Periodically, set the bristles on a hot surface to melt away wax and use a paper towel to eliminate any residual medium from the brush tips. Heat-tolerant silicone ensures that the brush will not break down when used on a hot surface.
