Dave Trock prepares the mold for wax.
Painting on the first layer of wax.
The first layer of wax has been painted on and is being allowed to cool before additional layers are applied. When the wax reaches the appropriate thickness it is then allowed to cool completed and gently removed from the mold. The wax is then returned to my studio where I do wax chasing, or wax retouching. This is the process of repairing any small bubbles or imperfections that might have occurred to the wax. Once each panel is looked over and repaired, it is then ready to go to the foundry for casting.
