I went to the craft store with my wife and bought some of that grey foam that they set flowers in. It's pretty firm, and has a small grain. You need to use a shop vac with it but it's really cheap, and cuts well. That machinable wax I have seen in the Travers catalog is big bucks. Might as well use aluminum.
I can't see anyone recovering wax chips, melting them down and reforming them. Sounds like a PITA. |
