Description
Ferris File-A-Wax carving wax slices are the preferred choice of master carvers for lost wax casting. Each 1 lb box contains assorted slices measuring 3-5/8" x 1-1/2" in various thicknesses from 3/16" to 1". These versatile waxes are ideal for rings, cuff links, pendants, medallions, and much more. Easily sawed, carved, drilled, milled, and turned on a lathe, they burn out cleanly from molds, withstand rough handling, and will not soften in the hands. All formulas carry an approximate melting point of 240°F.
Must be burned out of investment molds. Not for use in steam de-waxers.
