Hi Sparrow,

    I do my own casting so I don't know what a casting house would
    expect. However, I wanted to let you know injection waxes are much
    different from carving waxes and really can't be worked; they tend
    to be both brittle and gummy. Have you tried adding detail with a
    wax pen? I have found a super cheap wax pen; I use the stylus used
    for decorating traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs and beeswax. It
    works perfectly and only costs $1.05!! 

Awaiting the freezing rain,
Laurie
