A short magazine item describing how the Javanese wax-resist method (batik) is used to create colored designs on silk and velvet. Liquid wax is applied to protect areas from the dye, the process is repeated for additional colors, and the wax is then washed out with benzine. The article notes that electrically heated apparatus now keeps the wax at an even temperature so it flows regularly.
