Wax Sculpture Mold

Video Transcript

"Alright let's we're at the foundry and we want to create a wax, a wax version of the clay version. So we assemble this mold, we put the first layer in the mother mold, then we lay this mold on top of that mold, okay. Then we lay the mother mold on top of that mold, and then we secure it with, we use tire tubes. We're going to wrap tire tubes around it to make it really tight. But I just wanted, before we do that, I just wanted you to see what happens here. Now we have the actual sculpture piece is inside that hole. So what we want to do is we want to pour wax into this hole, and we pour the wax in, the hot wax, and we slurry it around like this, and we do that a number of times until we build up a thickness of about that thick. And then we take it back out, and I'm going to show you an example of what a wax looks like. Okay, we have the mold, the wax is inside of the mold, and then now we take the mold apart again, and inside the mold is a replica the same replica we had in clay. But now it's in the form of wax."
