JavierMS Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Greetings, I have a few ammonite fossils I would like to treat with varnish to improve their colour and glow but I have red that treating them with beeswax gives the fossils a more natural and less plastic looking, do you have any experience about treating fossils with beeswax? What procedure should I follow please? Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JavierMS Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thank you very much for your quick replies. How much beeswax and turpentine should I disolve please? Half beeswax and half turpentine maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
