SMALLER CAST WAX SKULL

The quality of a wax casting is purely a personal criteria. Here particular attention was focused on the master before the rubber mold was made. Any unwanted blemish on the master would be also on the subsequent wax castings and require unnecessary time in the cleaning up before plaster molding. Or if not dealt to in the wax stage then eventually in the cast glass.

Sprued and cupped ready for the plaster molding process.

Seam and handling damage requiring attention prior to plaster molding.

Closing in on the most pertinent ‘dings’!
