Tons of Fun and Useful Things for the Genealogist!
The original wax we were getting doubled in price recently so now we have found Black Cat Brand that is equally as good, if not better, and reduced the price from $4.95 to $3.95. This is a very hard wax made especially for tombstone rubbings. Use Pellon (a fabric interfacing found at all fabric stores, even Wal-Mart) or paper over the stone lettering, then rub the wax on the paper to transfer the image. Pellon is great because it can be folded up, rolled or stored away with no damage to the Pellon or to the image that you just put on it. This wax will not smear like chalk! Great stuff! A convenient size, big enough to hold and small enough to pack away. 2 ounce cakes in many colors.
NOTE: Blackcat Brand Tombstone Rubbing Wax in NOT intended for use in fine art projects, batik or other specialized projects. It has been made for tombstone rubbings and carries NO guarantee for any other purpose. NO refunds will be given.
In case you don't live near a fabric store or you are just in a hurry, you can get a start with your tombstone rubbings with this one piece of Pellon interfacing (see description under tombstone rubbing waxes). Enough for use on a small to mid-size tombstone. Measurements" 20" x 36".
