What do you do when you can’t get the right wax for the job?
You make it!
Me, Nat, Tony and Ande, armed with a deep fat frier, melted down some paraffin wax and plastic bags following this tutorial in order to make our machinable wax for this weeks task. While very exciting, the toxic fumes from melting plastic and general fire hazard make this something you probably shouldn’t try at home :~)
