Description
Ferris File-A-Wax Carving Wax rounds are the preferred choice of master carvers for lost wax casting. Ideal for rings, cuff links, pendants, medallions, and much more, these 3-1/16″ (77.8mm) diameter by 4-1/16″ (103.2mm) height rounds can be easily sawed, carved, drilled, milled, and turned on a lathe. Each formula burns out cleanly from investment molds, withstands 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.
