Paraffin Wax Bars

An economical alternative to beeswax, paraffin wax can be used to lubricate tools or to seal containers against water seepage.

Natural Beeswax Bars


White	Yellow

When burnt, beeswax doesn't release fumes like paraffin wax. Use it to lubricate tools or to seal containers against water seepage.

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.
