    O.K. Orchidians---do any of you know what solucar is, and where one
    can get it??? I got out some of my old notes on wax casting and in
    it is  the recommendation that solucar be used  in place of
    plasticene to   hold stones in place while making a wax model.   I
    don't cast with the stone in place, but merely hold the stone in 
    place  while I build up the wax around it.  I tried to get solucar
    (I'm not sure of the spelling), at our local art supply place, but
    they never heard of it.).  I am not sure if it is a clay  like
    substance or a water soluble wax.  Please help.    I have been using
    plasticene and it is a pain to dig it all  out when the model is
    completed.  Thanks a heap. Alma
