I have found prices for this and wonder what the difference is between the different waxes . Some sites sell it fairly pricy and some sell slightly different wax, fairly cheap.. which wax is the best to buy?
I want to buy it to mold and do the lost wax technique.
What type wax do you buy? A link would be helpful
Thank you

This is a very hard wax.

If you freeze it in the freezer you can get a really smooth finish by "sanding" it using those hard dark green scrubbing sponges.

I had seen an add for very soft Microcrystalline wax and should have read Cynthia's post before asking. I think I'll get more beeswax . Thanks!
