Bead setting in wax

I got curious to see if anyone else had ever asked this question before. Looks like there’s a lengthy previous thread. I didn’t read it all, but maybe there’s some helpful info in it for you.

Cheers! Jeff

Wax setting bead

Hello Alan, Attach a tiny bead of hot wax where you want the bead, then gently twist a cup bur of the desired size over the bead. Make sure your cup bur is free of any metal. (Also, you might want to practice a bit on a piece of scrap wax before you do it on the actual model.) Marta
