Reproduction in wax
The hot wax is poured into his hollow mold, emptied of the original sculpture.
The wax sets, and once removed from its mold, the wax sculpture can be chiselled and worked to obtain a perfect reproduction, identical to the original.
The wax model is then immersed and encased in heat-resistant plaster. The block of plaster containing the wax model is placed in an oven.
Under the action of the heat, the awx melts and runs out of the plaster block through specially-created drain holes. The wax is said to be “lost”.
