A wonderful wax carving tip from @kathrynreidjewellery - “Once the initial carving is done I apply White Spirit, an organic solvent used in painting with a q-tip to achieve a uniform smooth surface prior to adding the final textures!“ Thank you Kathryn for explaining that part of the process since so many folks in our community were curious about what was getting rubbed on the wax carving. Hope this is helpful!! #waxcarving #lostwaxcasting #jewelrymakingprocess
