How to make and use TOY WAX!

This is my first time to really dig in and use TOY WAX, so let's learn together about why hard wax is usually THE chosen finishing material of professional toy-makers! This video will show you how to make Scott Hensey's DIY toy wax recipe as well!

I've never in my life seen this channel, but I'm so unbelievably charmed by this man's accent, voice, and intonation while he speaks and the way he speaks 😂 I just adore it!

[@coco.clownie]

Same! it was like asmr for me 🥰

[@Dameinthewild]

He's really the best. He is entertaining, kind, gives credit to channels he learns from and also very responsive to his fans. I followed him on Pateron for a while and asked him a few questions. He totally got back to me with really thoughtful answers. I love that he has kept his anonymity all this time too. He's 10/10 a real one.

[@jamesglendening5180]

As a lost wax jewelry casting technician, I clean details on hundreds of wax castings every week. Wax might be new to you, but you are clearly good at transferring your skills from other mediums. It looks like you've been working with wax for months or years, instead of trying it for the first time. Most of our molds at work are for wax injection, instead of pour over, but we do work with a few pour molds. If you ever discover that you need more control over the temperature of the wax in your wax pot, Presto kettle fryers work great and are fairly cheap. We always buy our jewelry wax pre-mixed and it was very interesting to see a formulation made from scratch!

I am a miniatures sculptor. As in like 32 mm scale miniatures. I have most often worked in greenstuff and these kinds of putties. I have also worked with Cernit translucent clay which is about as close as I have found to a compound that has the best qualities of wax and clay and can be baked hard. I have long wanted to work in toy wax as I think I could achieve far superior results with a hard material like toy wax but I have yet to actually make the leap. I think I may actually do that now having seen this video. Thanks Crafsman. I love your stuff.

I'm a big fan of subtractive sculpting, so I've known for awhile I should really try to make the jump to try working with wax but its always seemed so intimidating, but this video actually made it seem rather approachable. I'll actually have too try it now.

[@machineman6498]

@@Hexen_Wulf Newb friendly! The book is older pre-digital sculpting but makes a great start for DIY. It's part "how to make your prototype sculpture to send to a toy factory" and part artist's portfolio. I don't think it covered mass production. As long as you can make a few simple figures out of clay or sculpy, you should be good.

Never leave your heat source unattended is the best thing to learn. I once left soap cooking in my crock pot. Forgot and came back to the floor and my work bench covered in liquid soap concentrate

[@JamesBuggemo]

Once upon a time I worked in the prototype shop of McFarlane Toys. We called an extremely similar recipe “Hasbro Wax” because one of the the former employees of Hasbro brought the recipe with them. McFarlane also has their own grades of wax, one that is softer and can be pushed around without heated tools if you’ll have a strong desk lamp shining on it. And another very hard green wax that was used for the final detailing pass. That stuff shattered when you dropped it.

[@johnathannyc]

Hey, Wax Lab Guys here, we'd love to include those recipes on our website if you happen to have them!

I just have to say thank you CrafsMan, you inspired me to get back into sculpting and toy making. My Dad did that kinda thing when he was young and also shared that with me.... so it's something I hold close to my heart. I've learned a lot watching you all while being entertained. I've been watching a long time and while I feel like you're teaching me, you express you're learning too and thats really cool. Anyway, thank you CrafsMan.

Finally getting around to watching this one, Crafsman! The fact that you're not going to mess up fine details just by handling it is really cool. My experience with wax is literally just handling candles and doing the hand-dipping thing at local fairs, so it's really interesting to see waxes that are extra resilient.

I was googling sculpting wax last night. Good timing for this drop

[@xmobile.]

Sounds like Monster Clay, which i absolutely fell in love with upon first use. I've only used medium texture and this seems like what i would imagine hard to be. It melts to a liquid state, warms and bends, gets hard as a rock also, can polish to a shine, and lastly can keep the most intricate details. It feels so nice, and with no gross residue to build up on your hands like other clays. To me, it's magical all around, i just wish i had more time to set aside to sculpt! I totally did that same thing, but without molds.. instead of having to wait to melt a big hunk of sculpting material, i rolled different size balls of it and sealed in a jar. That is a really good tip. I enjoyed watching this and all the important info about best methods :D

[@christophermarlow4379]

i also was thinking this is just like monster clay, love the stuff, but am i missing out with not using this toy wax?

I just discovered Steady Crafting not long ago looking for a patina tutorial. Today was my first attempt with copper washers. I tried the ammonia example, then liver of sulfur.

[@AaronHendu]

You can actually use dried air dry clay in a similar manner...it can be carved post sculp. It can be sanded, filed, etc into very geometric shapes. I made a sharp edged space ship with all sorts of panel gaps, fasteners, etc. All carved into the sculpture after the base sculpt dries. It works ecceptionally well with burred die grinder style tools. But even something as fine as the point of a pin works.
