Essentials - Thinning the wax

Easy

Something that most people don’t know: the wax weighs about 1/10th of the final weight in solid silver. That means a 1g wax will weigh around 10g in silver. 10g is heavy… especially when it’s dangling from your ears or around your neck.

What can we do to fix this? Simple. Just sand a little wax off using this quick and easy technique to thin the wax.
