I am using this wax for creating jewelry models for casting in metal. Thowax beige was recommended to me for its excellent carving qualities. Indeed, the wax carves beautifully and takes very good detail. But the quality that took me by surprise, the most difficult to get used to in working with it, is the speed with which it solidifies, going from a thin liquid to a firm solid in perhaps ten degrees. I can see that this will be a boon in some situations; it just takes a little getting used to. I am interested in the other waxes in this line and how they differ from the beige.
