Are your 'wax sprues' good to be used? => 7 photos

  One of my 'comment readers' wanted MORE photos of wax connecting sprues. Well, to make her and everyone happy, I put together another collection of these essential 'wax connecting' sprues.  

 Some of the photos need further explanation, others are just 'self-explanatory'. As there are many photos, I broke this inventory into 8 'detailed' essays. This is what must be shown, and I'm sure you will all agree!

                        ===========================

 This simple wedding band needs no introduction, as it is mainly for "Flush Setting" of gemstones. You'll notice the rather thick wax sprue, a fantastic decision by the designer to administer a greater flow of metal.

 This particular ring wax is on the verge of being scrapped, as there are defects in the wax.

 Always examine a wax before starting to prepare the sprues. Your time is so very precious; don't avoid this inspection.

 Are all of the claws of the same width and height? Are all of the claws ready for stone setting? Are any of them missing?

 One wax sprue might not be enough; in this head, there might not be enough chances for the metal to flow everywhere.

 The numbers refer to the weight of the wax, excluding the long shaft of the sprue.

 This keychain only needs one sprue, but make it thick as to allow more metal to flow evenly. If you need to attach another sprue to the long arm, so be it; it's your decision.
