Using Wax as a Resist to Colour Ink

Similar posts have appeared recently but I can can't find them.

I am using wax to prevent colour ink washes from colouring certain areas of the drawing. But using a razor blade to remove the wax when I want to put in a new colour areas does not seem to be working well. The paper still holds wax.

Does anyone have any experience with wax.

Otherwise the texture and colour produced by wax resist are very pleasant.

Then there is the problem of removing the wax when the drawing is finally finished.

If it's not rubbing off well, and that is important you could try the friskit or maskit stuff. Most I know who use wax talk of some residue.

Really...some Winsor and Newton masking fluid would be much easier to use. Masking fluid can be rubbed off with the fingertip or a rubber cement pickup. I appreciate the idea that candle wax may be more available and inexpensive but is the extra work worth it?

Actually the imperfections of the wax, i.e., allowing some ink to go through are worth it, if I could solve the problem of complete removal when wanted. But thank you for your suggestion.
