Hi
Could you advise me on the correct temperature to heat wax to prior to pouring into a mould. I have read that you should heat the wax to around 160 degrees, but I have also read that at this temperature there’s a risk of air bubbles forming, which is the problem I found. My mould is about 2.5 litres in size. I can’t find any advice on your website. Could you advise. Thanks

The melting point of this green wax is 63-66ºC, if the wax is exposed to high temperatures it will begin to boil.

Hi! Is your "Green Casting Wax" suitable to be melted in a pan and poured into a silicone mold? And if so, what is the shrinkage of this wax?

Yes you can melt the green casting wax in a pan and pour into your mould. Sorry we do not know the shrinkage of this wax.

A high quality casting wax for use in lost wax casting. Melting point 63ºC - 66ºC. The wax casts easily, withstands handling when cold without cracking, and burns out cleanly. This wax is fairly firm and so is suitable for carving, modelling with wax modelling tools, pouring and painting into moulds, and casting in the Centricast Machine. To make a hand modelling wax we recommend mixing Green casting Wax with Type B Wax.
