Video 1: Attaching the waxes to the sprue bottoms.

Using two injection waxes, I show a simple way to set them up for investment casting. Flask size is 2 inch in diameter x 2.5 inches in height. In video two I will cover investing the two flasks. Casting unit is designed, manufactured and soon to be sold by DIY Castings.

If you use a dimmer socket then you can calibrate the temperatures of the tip on your iron to nice an low :)

Yes, I did that with my previous model, which had no adjustment but this is so close that I haven't bothered. I suppose if I was building waxes and didn't want to boil the wax I may go that route, thanks.

Hi Craig great video! I've been a long time subscriber of your channel, and just has a quick question.
What are your thoughts about lost wax investment casting. Would you consider it " hand made" or more of a "process" ?
Just wondering. ..
Been seeing alot of confusing information out there.

I don't know the answer to that. It takes a lot of skill to hand carve the wax but not sure how casting is classified.
