压制易黏或含汁液的实物（鲜叶、花瓣）前，可在金属面薄涂一层熔融蜂蜡或喷少量水性清漆作隔离层，既防汁液污染金属，又使实物压后易剥离、保护纹理细节。配方：蜂蜡隔水加热至液态，用软布薄擦一层，冷却后压印；取模后用酒精棉擦净即可，不伤底层纹理。
Before pressing sticky or sappy objects (fresh leaves, petals), thinly coat the metal with melted beeswax or a light water-based lacquer as a release layer—it stops sap staining the metal and lets the object peel off cleanly, protecting detail. Recipe: melt beeswax in a water bath, wipe a thin film with a soft cloth, cool, then imprint; after demoulding, clean with alcohol cotton without harming the relief. ---
