[Jewelry making - Article 00521] - Re: [Orchid] Effective way to clean my waxes?

    The little bits of wax debris that stick in the cut lines can also
    be cleaned out with a soft, old toothbrush or paintbrush. I also keep
    a handheld "bulb" cleaner to blow a forceful blast of air into the
    cracks as I'm carving the wax. You can also used the canned
    compressed air used for cleaning computer keyboards. 

    Finally, if you need to further refine the wax surface, try using a
    mild solvent (Wax Kleen is one formulated specifically for this). To
    get a great surface, I apply the solvent using a Q-tip, then buff
    with Swiffer dry floor wipes, which have a very soft, non-directional
    fiber. 

    Hope this helps!
