Those look cool Kate,

    It'll be handy to have precise prong sizes, and the ball & socket
    really looks cool! I've not really worked with Ferris Purple much,
    and I've only carved Blue. Do they melt at high temps? I like my
    battery hot pen; can I use it to join these to other peices. I
    usually shoot molds with injection wax, the build on that. 

    How about melting carving (or Red Matt) wax in an injector? Some
    folks have mentioned they do this. I'd like to get another injector,
    so I can dedicate one to production and use the other to play. Is it
    worth it? What should I watch out for? 

    Sorry I missed y'all in Tucson & thanks Hanuman for your help.
