Best way to get wax off of Boro
Just started lost wax casting and I need to know the best way to get wax off of my boro glass :( I figured someone ought to know something on here! Don't let me down! lol

Just what you said "Lost Wax" burn out. Kiln or Torch. Ventilate.
|
I realize that, I am trying fitting a boro sculpture on my wax investment which in turn makes hot wax run off on to my sculpture.
|
What kind of wax? If it's jeweler's carving wax, there is a solvent/polish for that specifically (expensive), but I would expect ordinary Goo Gone solvent to work well. Grocery store cleaning aisle ~ Good luck!
|
Use a release agent Vaseline. then the wax wont stick. I boil off stubborn dap wax sometimes.
|
Couldn't you just drop it in boiling water?

What kind of wax?
paraffin and bees wax can be heated and then simply wipe it off with a piece of news print or scrap cloth. |
Try freezing and chipping if it's only on certain places you want it gone, then goof off/goo gone, in a pinch I think gasoline will work, or something of that nature. Just watch the fire haZard!!!
