Microcrystalline Wax
So where do you get wax for molding? I can't believe how expensive the stuff I find is, $140 for 10 lbs. Thanks for any info

I get mine from Reynolds Advanced Materials - http://www.reynoldsam.com. They have 10 stores; I don't know if one is near you. If not, search for other local sculpture supply stores.

Re: Microcrystalline Wax
That looks like a cool website, I honestly didn't see Microcrystalline Wax on there. There are no local stores as I live on Maui so ordering is my only choice.
I did find this place for good cheap Victory Brown Wax. http://shop.clay-planet.com/victory-bro ... e-wax.aspx
Now I just have to figure out what plaster I want to use.
Thanks again

Hi Chris,
If you haven't already gone with someone else you can also try The Compleat Sculptor. I order most of my stuff from them.
$84 for a 10lb slab of Victory Brown.

Re: Microcrystalline Wax
OP - you want hard micro-crystalline. Don't accidentally buy white/amber - soft and flexible. Hard is sometimes referred to as jewelers wax.
HER last words were, "I'm melting, melting . . . " Dissenting opinions generally welcome for comic relief or personal edification. Sometimes both.
