Mould with a round bowl shape for pouring liquid beeswax and making wax blocks. Made of stainless steel with an approximate height of 8 cm, diameter of 25 cm, and a capacity of approximately 2.5 litres.
Stainless is not a finishing whim: iron darkens wax and copper turns it greenish. The colour of the block is decided in the mould.
Round stainless steel bowl mould for casting melted wax. 25 cm across, 8 cm deep and 2.5 litres.
01 · HOW BIG THE BLOCK IS
The bowl's 2.5 litres, filled leaving a finger of margin, give a block of a little over two kilos: wax weighs slightly less than water, about 0.96 kg per litre.
That is the figure you need to plan what you send to the wax processor.
02 · RELEASING IT WHOLE
Wax shrinks as it cools, and that is exactly what pulls the block away from the walls. So let it cool right through: forcing it out warm is how it breaks.
Two habits that make it easy: wet the mould with soapy water before pouring, and let it cool slowly and sheltered. A sudden chill cracks the block because the surface contracts before the inside does.
03 · THE UNDERSIDE
When you cast melted wax, the impurities and water go to the bottom: the block comes out with a dirty layer on its underside. Scrape it off before weighing, because the processor discounts it.
Stainless steel cleans with hot water, which is what lifts wax residue without scratching.
