Tools Relief – Cast Attempt 2 – Success!

I re-milled my tools relief mold, correcting the problems inherent in the design of the first cast.  I made the border around the tools relief wider and deeper in order to have a rim to hold the poured material before creating the final cast.  In order to conserve wax (it is $29.00 a bar), I melted down used wax and shavings from previous molds.  There was some sediment / impurities that worked their way into the wax, but they sunk to the bottom and did not affect the mold.
