Description
Ferris File-A-Wax Carving Wax bars are the preferred choice of master jewelry carvers for making models reproduced by the lost wax casting process. Ideal for rings, cuff links, pendants, medallions, and more, these wax bars are easily sawed, carved, drilled, milled, and turned on a lathe. Each bar stands up to rough handling and will not soften in the hands. Burns out cleanly from molds. Available in four color-coded hardness formulas to match your specific carving technique and design requirements.
Important: Must be burned out of investment molds. Not for use in steam dewaxers.
