Hi Folks,

I had a quick read of the archive and saw that people mentioned using a combination of victory brown and sprue wax for lost wax casting. I think I read somewhere that victory brown wax has toxic fumes? Can anyonw recommend a good low/non toxic wax suitable for creating objects for lost wax casting?

Thanks for helping out a keen newbie,
Spark.

Oops,
just saw the thread under this on wax recommendations,
answer in there if its the same question.

Hi Spark,

Yes, the fumes from hot microcrystalline wax are not good for you. Use good ventilation over the wax pot, and/or wear a good repirator. Warm wax won't hurt you any, though.
