appear therein) you may eafily repair, when dry, with 
a Hair-pencil, or a Pen, and a little of the Pune Co- 
lour. 
If your Paper does not foak in the Moifiure well, 
by being ovcr-fized, it is neceffary to wet the Flannels, 
or the Paper will not come off ftrongly enough 
colour’d : And, if the Relievo of your Medal be 
very high, it is beft to put a little Cotton imme- 
diately upon the Back of the Paper, between that and 
the Flannels, that the Paper may be duly preffed 
into the deep Hollows of the wax Mould. 
This Method is very eafy and ready for taking 
the Pi&ure of a Medal in any Colour : But, if you 
defire a Relievo only, without any Colour, the Way 
is abundantly (hotter ; for nothing then is necefiary, 
but to place a Piece of Card, or white Pafteboard, 
well foaked in Water, on the wax Mould, without 
any Colouring, and letting it remain in your Pre'fs 
a few Minutes, the Bufinefs is done at once. 
As it is plain, from what has been Paid, that the 
whoie Succefs depends on the Goodnefs of the wax 
Imprefifion or Mould, I (hall lay down fome Rules 
for taking it, which much Experience has taught me. 
1. The Wax mud be very fine; or it wants a pro- 
per Hardnefs, and the Inapreflion will not prove 
(harp. 
2. It mud be fpread wider than the Medal, 
and of a Thickncfs in proportion to the Re - 
lievo of it. - 
3. The Medal muft be clapped on when the Wax 
has a right Degree of Heat : For, if it be too 
hot, the Medal is apt to hick j and, if too 
cold.
