Prototyping Wax Bars

Harder than Crack-Resistant Prototyping Wax, this is better suited to more detailed prototyping.

Crack-Resistant Prototyping Wax Bars

This wax is more stable than standard prototyping wax, so it won't crack when used as casting wax.

High-Temperature Easy-Form Lining Wax Sheets

Plain Backing

Adhesive Backing

With a higher softening temperature than standard lining wax sheets, use these with casting and laminate resins that require heat during curing. Flexible enough to conform to angles and bends, lining wax is bendable even at room temperature. Use it as a liner in stamping prototypes and to produce castings of die patterns.

Adhesive Backing—Adhesive-back sheets provide a temporary hold and adhere to most oil-free surfaces.
