The red wax is only 4mm thick so quite delicate, but it worked very well with weaving as it has a lot of malleability and doesn’t snap. Also important is memory of the weaving materials, or to put it another way, it needs to stay put once woven and the red wax did just that.

I purchased a variable heat wax carver too, to see if I could join to sections of wax together. This didn’t work so well, each time I melted and adhered two pieces together and then tried to weave it, the joints snapped apart.
The next step was to try and weave without joining sections and then meld them together once weaving was completed, this worked but was extremely difficult to try and hold all the pieces and weave at the same time.
