Taking a cast impression in snow always involves the risk of damaging the impression with your casting material. Impressions in powdery snow can distort or crumble during the pouring process and the exothermic reactions of casting agents can cause melting. Our Wax Hardener is formulated to prime, seal, and protect delicate impressions before and during the application of a casting material. Use it to set the impression before casting, help protect against melting, and seal out excess water that might dilute your casting mix. Simply spray a few coats of wax on the impression, let it harden, then cast the impression following your normal procedures.

This kit contains all the necessary components for preparing a footprint or tire track for casting with plaster, dental stone, or silicone rubber casting materials. This product helps prevent the impression from deforming due to the weight of the casting material. Kit components are also offered separately.
