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.

What happens when the melted paraffin wax begins to solidify before casting the subject?

When melted paraffin wax begins to solidify before casting the subject, it can result in a poor-quality casting. The solidification process may not be uniform, leading to uneven distribution of the wax and potential air pockets within the mold. This can cause defects in the final casting, such as rough surfaces or incomplete filling of the mold. It is important to maintain the melted wax at the correct temperature and pour it into the mold promptly to ensure a successful casting.


Why is there a need to clean the area where you will do the paraffin casting?

Cleaning the area before paraffin casting is important to remove any dirt, oil, or debris that could contaminate the wax. This helps ensure a clean and smooth finish on the final cast and helps prevent any imperfections or defects. Additionally, a clean area reduces the risk of contamination to the skin and reduces the chance of introducing any bacteria or impurities during the casting process.
