Grobet 10 Gauge Sprue Wax – 4" Length, 2 oz Box

Create reliable sprue systems for jewelry casting with 10 gauge sprue wax designed to provide a useful balance of flexibility and rigidity. The wax is flexible enough for positioning and forming while maintaining sufficient rigidity for sprueing and mounting wax patterns.

Each piece measures 4" long, and the wax melts at a relatively low temperature of 125°F (approximately 52°C). It is formulated to burn out cleanly during the casting process. Supplied in a 2 oz box.

Specifications

Designed for Building Sprue Systems

Sprues create the pathways through which molten metal travels during the casting process. Choosing a sprue wax with the right balance of flexibility and rigidity makes it easier to construct and position these pathways around a wax pattern.

This 10 gauge sprue wax provides enough flexibility for forming and positioning while retaining sufficient rigidity to support the sprue arrangement.

Flexible Yet Supportive

Sprue wax needs to perform differently from softer repair or utility waxes. It must be workable enough to position where needed while providing enough structure to maintain the desired sprue configuration.

This formulation combines those characteristics, making it particularly suited to sprueing and mounting wax patterns.

Low 125°F Melting Temperature

The wax melts at approximately 125°F (52°C).

Its relatively low melting temperature makes the material easy to work with when attaching and assembling sprues while helping reduce the amount of heat applied around the wax pattern.

Clean Burnout

This sprue wax is formulated to burn out cleanly, an important characteristic when preparing an invested wax assembly for casting.

Once the completed wax pattern and sprue system are invested, the wax is eliminated during burnout to create the channels and cavity required for the casting process.

10 Gauge Size

The 10 gauge size provides a useful option for building casting sprues where this particular sprue thickness is appropriate.

For different casting requirements, other gauges of sprue wax are available. Selecting the appropriate gauge allows the sprue system to be matched more closely to the size and configuration of the pattern being cast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge is this sprue wax?
This is 10 gauge sprue wax.

How long are the pieces?
The overall length is 4 inches.

How much wax is included?
It is supplied in a 2 oz box.

What is sprue wax used for?
Sprue wax is used to create the channels that connect a wax pattern to the larger sprue system used in lost-wax casting.

Is the wax flexible?
Yes. It combines flexibility with sufficient rigidity for sprueing and mounting wax patterns.

What temperature does it melt at?
The wax melts at approximately 125°F (52°C).

Does it burn out cleanly?
Yes. The wax is specifically formulated for clean burnout during the casting process.

Can it be used for mounting wax patterns?
Yes. Mounting wax patterns is one of the intended applications for this sprue wax.

Is this casting sheet wax?
No. This is sprue wax, which serves a different purpose from the translucent casting sheet wax used to cut and form wax patterns.

What is the part number?
The part number is 21.438.
