Here are some wax carving tips from @dmdmetal - “I use a white or silver paint marker- enamel ones stick best, but can be toxic. I used an acrylic based paint marker. I just had to sand the surface of the wax lightly to make it stick better/ break surface tension. When checking the carving details I use a polymer clay called “Super Sculpey”. Carve, carve, carve, press, look at what I need to correct, rinse and repeat x 1000 😂.” Thank you so much for sharing your technique with us! We really appreciate it! #lostwaxcasting #waxcarving #jewelrymakingprocess #sculptorsofinstagram #jewelersofinstagram
