Temperature

Ferris File-A-Wax : blue

SDS
- Melting Point: 107°C
- Flash Point: 185°C (estimated)

Keep it at room temperature for 2-3 hours until it sets. Due to shrinkage during cooling, the solidified wax can be removed from the pan without any resistance.

Before use¶

surfacing process by CNC is required
