Hi Janet:

    My trick for joining it (as much as I have one) is to melt it -into-
    a block of sprue wax. Don't try to actually get the two waxes to melt
    into each other, just bury the red wax wire inside the body of the
    sprue wax form. Failing that, I seem to remember having had decent
    luck once with superglue to hold it in place while I waxed other
    things around it. (I haven't used it in several years.) Superglue
    works by absorbing water, so you'll have to breathe on it a couple of
    times to allow the water from your breath to set it. 

HTH
Brian Meek.
