About utility wax
Utility wax on this shelf comes as sheets, strips and sticks, and includes block-out, underlining and stick-on waxes. Block-out is the applying of wax or a similar temporary substance to the undercut portions of a cast.
Boxing an impression means enclosing it to give the base of the cast the desired size and form and to preserve its details; boxing wax is the wax used for it. Utility wax on this shelf is general-purpose wax in sheets, strips and sticks.
How utility, boxing, sticky and dipping wax differ
- Utility Wax — General-purpose wax in sheets, strips and sticks.
- Boxing Wax — Strips that wall in an impression so the base of the cast gets its size and form.
- Sticky Wax — Holds parts together or in place while the work goes on.
- Dipping Wax — Kept molten in a bath; the die is dipped to make a coping pattern in one step.
What to look at when choosing
Form: strips, sheets, sticks or lumps, by weight or by count.
Temperature: waxes have a high coefficient of thermal expansion.
