You Will Need

Step 1
To make wax batik papers you will need an electric wax pot, soft wax, tjap (Javanese printing tool), iron, cartridge paper, lots of newspaper and dyes or inks in various colors.
Please note: wax is a very volatile material. Do not be tempted to melt candles in a pan as this can catch fire. The wax pot has a regulated temperature control to keep the wax at the correct temperature. -
Step 11
A little something about health and safety: please take care when using hot wax. If you burn yourself then place the burn under cold water until the burning sensation stops. You will notice that I have used words such as gently, slowly and carefully. If you work sensibly then accidents won't occur.
Where do you buy the tjap? They dont even sell it in North Sumatra...
(here in Indonesia, its cap... but other countries pronounce it as 'tjap' anyway, so...)
Dang, this is just a difficult thing to get into...
