Mortician's wax is usually used for facial reconstruction on a badly dismembered individual at time of death. Its used to make the person appear as normal as possible. Molded to mimic the flesh that was once perfectly fine. It is also used in theater plays, used to transform the face into different characters you can build off of existing tissue to make a different silhouette of the face and or body.

Morticians wax formula?

taken from a forum: get some microcrystaline wax (monster makers sells it), vaseline, and some translucent face powder... basically all you need to do is melt the wax down (i used a washed out pop can with the top cut off that i pu in a pan of water) that's only because i didnt want to trash my good pots. combine the wax and vaseline in there about equal ammounts of each. heat until it melts completely, then add some powder. keep stirring it until it starts to solidify. you might want to make a small ammount first to get the bugs out. if its too soft, add more wax, if its too firm add more vaseline.
