    I have improvised to smooth wax.  I got several sets of dental tools
    and carved the ends in shapes to suit very tight spaces. 

    One of my favorite tool materials is bamboo.  Chopsticks and
    toothpicks. They can burnish, smooth, and even have used to polish
    metal after putting in my hand- piece chuck and spinning in rouge.  

    The tips of toothpicks are sharp, but they can be carved to be flat,
    cut at angle, or have the nose smoothed with fine paper. 

    There is nothing that works better in the polishing of gallery
    details and bezels.  

    I buy my toothpicks from asian grocery stores.
