This is an extremely hard synthetic wax that machines faster than polyurethane and epoxy tooling boards or metals without sacrificing quality of finish, surface detail, or dimensional accuracy. It is used to produce accurate molds and prototypes and is recyclable and reusable, non-abrasive, non-toxic, self-lubricating and able to be glued. Liquid tooling plastics, including epoxy, urethane, and silicone rubber may be poured into machinable wax without requiring the use of sealers or release agents. This version of machinable wax can be worked by hand, holds good detail, and has good filing qualities.
