About boxing wax
Boxing wax is the wax used for boxing an impression.
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.
