I posted a message some time ago related to making foundation.  I
appreciate the respose I got very much.
 
I seem to be able to get the thin sheets of wax that I need by dipping a
piece of glasss into melted wax.  One dip gives the desired thickness if
the wax is only a little above melting temperature.
 
I put the glass in ice water before dipping, dip it, then put it back in
the ice for chilling.  I can then usually get the sheet to separate from
the glass.  It would seem to work better if I dipped the glass into some
solution that would aid the release of the wax sheet from the glass.  I'm
thinking about trying a weak solution of soap or perhaps a dishwashing
detergent.  I'm a little concerned about trying any type of silicone
release agent.
 
If any of you have found a good release agent, I'd like to hear from
you.  Perhaps a hardwood board soaked in water would be a better choice
than glass.  I know that I'd be able to get a good release then!
 
Many thanks for your viewpoints and experience.
 
Cordially,
 
Jim
