I. Procedure of Paraffin Casting:

a. Heat the paraffin wax in a container until it melts. Allow cooling for a few minutes so that it will not burn the skin.

b. Let the subject wash his hands with water without using any soap or detergent. Wipe the hands of the subject with clean absorbent cotton.

c. Let the subject place his hands on a clean sheet of bond paper with the palms facing downward and the fingers closed together. Using a spoon or tong with cotton, pour the melted paraffin wax on the hands of the subject from the thumb and index fingers and the dorsal portion to the little finger side of the hands.

d. Cover the hands and fingers thoroughly with paraffin wax and place a thin layer of absorbent cotton to reinforce the wax.

e. Pour another layer of the wax until the absorbent cotton has totally absorbed the wax.

f. Allow the wax to cool and solidify before peeling them off.

g. When cool, direct the subject to move his fingers first and slowly moving his hands out from the casts.

h. Write on the bond paper the important identifications of the casted paraffin.
