Canthing. A pen-like tool to put the wax on cloth. When you put the wax with it yours will be called as Batik Tulis (Handmade Batik) that will cost an arm and a leg! So hold the Gagang-the handler, then you take the melted wax in Nyamplung or Small container (see the pict). But sometimes you have to blow Cucuk the tip of the little tube because the melted wax gets frozen so easily and stucks the tube.
