Customizing Tips and Tricks / Re: Wax Issues
« on: April 17, 2006, 10:12 PM »
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to thank everyone who has stopped by and special thanks to Sith_Fire30, Glassman6, and Bantha 5 for helping me through my first wax sculpting experience . I glad to announce I pulled a wax cast at a 1:1 ratio compaired to the original clay model. The key was the method used to melt the wax. I used the "melt the wax in a metal container over a candle" method and it worked like a charm.
I would also like to say something to all those who are thinking about this craft form. It is an expensive process but a very rewarding experience . Do a lot of research, ask tons of questions and don't be afraid to experiment. With every failer comes an oportunity to learn something new.
I wish you all good luck and thanks again for your support.
