    Hmmm... I think you may be using the wrong kinds of waxes for your
    project. Or maybe you aren't using the right tools or methods to
    heat your parts that you want to weld together. I think that this
    should all be possible to do in just wax. 

    I sometimes use super glue to fasten wax together, but it can be
    brittle, so I think that a good wax weld would be better. Look at
    Kate Wolf's line of waxes. She has a nice sticky wax that holds well
    for adding parts made of carving wax. 

    When you ship a wax, pack it in a small box with foam padding, and
    pack that in a larger box with cushioned space as well. HTH, 

M'lou
