With the Tjanting a skilled worker carefully applies the wax resist to form intricate and beautiful details. The Tjanting is refilled from a bowl of hot wax.
Three main types of resist are used:
- Klowong, pale cracking wax with resins, for the first waxing
- Tembokkan, flexible resist with beeswax and fat
- Mbiron, dark recycled mixed resist for the third waxing.
