Batik is a wax resist process. Bees wax and tree resin are the main ingredients of the wax recipe, but as many as five other components are combined to produce three types of wax recipes that are utilized for drawing the principle lines and for filling them in, for covering large areas that will remain white, and for covering blue-dyed areas. The most common ways to apply wax to cloth is by stamping with copper caps (pronounced chops) or by drawing with canting (pronounced chanting) tools. The fabric retains its color wherever the wax has been applied.
