4. 4 Lost-Wax Hollow-Casting: The Direct Method 1.Make a clay core in the basic shape of the object. 2.Cover the clay core with a layer of wax and mold the details of the object in the wax. 3.Paint the wax model with a layer of thin clay to pick up the details. Then cover the object with a coarser clay mantle. Attach the outer clay mantle to the inner clay core with iron or bronze chaplets. Slowly bake the clay mold so the wax melts out, then fire the mold to make it hard. 4.Fill the space left by the wax with molten bronze. Allow the bronze to cool, then break open the mold and remove the bronze object. Cut off the chaplet ends and funnels. Finally, polish the object to finish it.
