    Greetings, all. I have a wax working project that I'm working
    on-and-off on, but I'm nearing the end of it. I have 4 pieces I want
    to hang from a necklace, but now I need to get those pieces to hang
    from the necklace. I tried carving out things that i would melt on to
    the back that extend above the top of the piece, but they proved far
    too fragile, breaking off when i carried them from my house to my
    local jewelery shop; since I'm going to need to mail them to RI or
    Philly, I'll need something a bit more robust. 

    So, what materials can bind wax pieces together, but still allow them
    to be cast? Are there any glues? Any ideas?
