    Hi Michael Knight, In a message dated 8/7/2003 you mentioned a sample
    kit of injection wax on the orchid form.  I would be very interested
    in trying a sample of the SuperCera gold and/or SuperCera red.  I am
    looking for a good all purpose wax and a second wax that is easy to
    see detail or flaws and somewhat carvable. 

    Also, for many years I have used the Castaldo gold for mold making
    and love working with it.  ( A friend gave me another brand to try a
    while back and it was definitely not the same... told him to stick
    with the Castaldo.)  Now I am getting work where I  need to make
    injectable room temperature molds and am not sure what to use.  Does
    Castaldo offer have a small sample kit of this type of product?  Or
    a trial size that I could purchase? 

    Finally, just a question.  I am considering trying the Castaldo
    pink.  I have heard that it is harder to use and very fussy in
    regards to temperature.  Since I have never had a problem with the
    gold, is the pink really all the difficult?  As long as the
    temperature control is adjusted with a thermometer, I would think
    that the results should be the same as the gold....a good mold
    everytime. 

Thanks,
