Ferris File-A-Wax Style B-1062 is a solid round bar measuring 6" (152mm) in length by 1-1/16" (27.0mm) in outside diameter, designed for making models to be reproduced by the lost wax casting process. These carving waxes have been the choice of master carvers for years and are ideal for rings, cuff links, pendants, medallions, and much more.
Each bar is easily sawed, carved, drilled, milled, and turned on a lathe. The formula burns out cleanly from molds, stands up to rough handling, and will not soften in the hands. Available in five color-coded formulas ranging from soft and flexible to harder grades suited for CNC lathe work.
Must be burned out of investment molds. Not for use in steam de-waxers.
