[Jewelry making - Article 00610] - [Orchid] Repairing molded wax

    After making an RTV mold of a necklace segment I found that the cast
    product had small defects. First there was some indention along the
    separation line of the mold, and secondly there were a few pinpoint
    holes. 

    At first I thought the pinpoint holes were the result of porosity,
    but careful examination showed that the holes were already in the
    wax copies. My initial method of repairing this was to grind down
    the problem areas in the cast pieces, a most tedious job. 

    My question: is there a sealing compound, say something like the
    whiteout used for covering typing errors, that is appropriate to fill
    the small problem spots in the wax copies? 

Thanks,
Stan Burris
