Final Wax Casting


For my final mold I used foam core coated with non-stick aluminum foil (this took FOREVER) and a thin layer of vaseline.  I poured the wax in slowly using a ladle and a spoon.  To make the colored spaces I cut up small pieces of crayon and poured the wax in over them.  I still had to pull the foam core away piece by piece, but it was much easier to take out of this mold than my previous mold, of just chip board.
