    Peck's Purple is a good match for purple Karvex. I do not know that
    it is still around.... It is an inlay type wax, so the strength and
    melting point are different. But it blends well and can be added
    without further damage. Not sure how it makes a difference in the
    final casting. 

Good luck, Jon
