Can we deposit the wax solution of the lotus leaf on the tile surface? Is there any method for the fixation of the wax solution of the lotus leaf on the tile?

Dr Atul Dwivedi

It depends on which type of solvent you are adding to make wax solution and also it's evaporation rate and the working temprature of the tiles i.e. were it will be used.
