Description
Ferris File-A-Wax Oval carving waxes are the trusted choice of master jewelry carvers for lost wax casting. These oval blocks measure 3-1/8" x 2-5/8" x 3-5/8" in height and are ideally suited for rings, cuff links, pendants, medallions, and much more. Each formula is easily sawed, carved, drilled, milled, and turned on a lathe. The wax burns out cleanly from investment molds, withstands rough handling, and will not soften in the hand during carving. All formulas share an approximate melting point of 240°F.
Must be burned out of investment molds. Not for use in steam de-waxers.
