Freeman Translucent Casting Sheet Wax 4" x 4" – 20 Gauge, 32 Sheets

Create detailed wax patterns for jewelry casting with this translucent, flexible casting sheet wax. Each sheet measures 4" x 4" and is 20 gauge (approximately 0.8 mm) thick, providing a thinner, more flexible option for detailed pattern work, layering, shaping, and model making.

The wax remains pliable at room temperature and can be easily cut with a knife or scissors. Designs can also be drawn or traced directly onto the sheet before cutting, making it convenient for transferring patterns and creating consistent shapes. Each package contains 32 sheets.

Specifications

20 Gauge / 0.8 mm Thickness

At approximately 0.8 mm thick, this 20 gauge sheet wax provides a thinner profile than the 18 gauge version while retaining enough body for a wide range of wax-pattern applications.

The thinner sheet is particularly useful when creating more detailed shapes, adding layers to an existing wax model, or building designs where controlling the thickness of individual elements is important.

Easy to Cut & Shape

The wax remains flexible and pliable at room temperature, allowing it to be formed without requiring extensive preparation.

Cut individual shapes with a knife or scissors, then form and incorporate them into your wax model. Sheet wax is particularly convenient for geometric patterns, decorative elements, layered designs, and components that are easier to construct from a consistent flat sheet than carve from a solid wax block.

Draw or Trace Directly on the Wax

Designs can be drawn or traced directly onto the translucent wax sheet before cutting.

This makes it easy to transfer a pattern onto the wax and provides greater control when producing matching, repeated, or precisely shaped components.

The translucent material is especially useful when working from an underlying pattern or reference.

Excellent for Layered Wax Designs

The consistent 20 gauge thickness makes this sheet wax useful for building patterns in controlled layers.

Individual sections can be cut to shape and combined to add raised details, decorative elements, borders, overlays, and other dimensional features to a wax model.

Compared with thicker sheet wax, the 20 gauge material allows finer changes in thickness when building a design one layer at a time.

Made for Jewelry Casting

This sheet wax is designed specifically for creating patterns used in jewelry casting.

Once the finished wax model is invested, the wax is formulated to provide a clean burnout, leaving the mold cavity needed for casting the finished design in metal.

20 Gauge vs. 18 Gauge Sheet Wax

Both sizes use the same 4" x 4" translucent flexible sheet format, but their thicknesses give them slightly different strengths.

The 18 gauge 21.413 is approximately 1 mm thick, providing more body for patterns that benefit from a thicker starting material.

This 20 gauge 21.414 is approximately 0.8 mm thick, making it somewhat finer and more flexible for detailed shapes, thinner components, and layered designs.

Choosing between them depends primarily on the thickness required for the wax pattern you're creating.

Ideal For

• Jewelry casting

• Cutting custom shapes

• Traced patterns

• Decorative wax elements

• Rings and pendants

• Jewelry components

• Prototype and model work

• Adding details to larger wax models

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is each sheet?
Each sheet measures 4" x 4".

How thick is the wax?
This is 20 gauge sheet wax, approximately 0.8 mm thick.

How many sheets are included?
Each package contains 32 sheets.

Is the wax flexible?
Yes. It remains flexible and pliable at room temperature, making it easy to cut and form.

Can I cut it with scissors?
Yes. The wax can be easily cut with either a knife or scissors.

Can I trace a pattern onto the wax?
Yes. Drawings and tracings can be made directly on the sheets before cutting.

Is the wax translucent?
Yes. The sheets are translucent, which is particularly useful when tracing designs from an underlying pattern.

What is the difference between 20 gauge and 18 gauge sheet wax?
The primary difference is thickness. 20 gauge is approximately 0.8 mm, while 18 gauge is approximately 1 mm. The 20 gauge version provides a thinner starting material for detailed and layered designs.

Can I layer the sheets?
Yes. Sheet wax is useful for building patterns from multiple cut pieces and adding dimensional details to a larger wax model.

Is this intended for lost-wax casting?
Yes. This is casting sheet wax intended for creating expendable wax patterns and is formulated for clean burnout.

What is the part number?
The part number is 21.414.

Where is it made?
It is made in the USA.
