Item Name: Black Magic Carbon Wax SKU: BLACK MAGIC WAX Description: Black Magic Carbon Wax is a carbon based wax formulated specifically for coating jack blades. It is applied as a thin, heat-bonded layer that builds up over multiple applications into a smoother and more durable working surface than standard beeswax. In hot shop glassblowing, waxing the blades helps the hot glass glide across the metal more cleanly, reduces sticking and chatter, and improves control when you are shaping, opening, or refining forms with jacks. This wax is intended for use after properly preparing the blade surface so the coating can key in and hold up through repeated heats. How it is used: First clean your jack blades with a fine grit abrasive pad to create tooth on the metal surface. Warm the blades just enough to melt the wax, then apply Black Magic Carbon Wax in a thin coat. Repeat for several initial applications to build a consistent layer, then re-apply as needed as the coating wears during use. Use the waxed jacks during normal glassblowing operations to help the blades move smoothly against hot glass while maintaining better control and a cleaner finish. Dimensions: Approximately 3/4 OZ
