Hi I'm Angela Busby, I'm a trainer here at Stuller and on this segment of How it Works we're going to show you how to size in wax.  We're going to go ahead and size down and what you want to do is you're going to inspect your piece and make sure that all your prongs are there and your piece is complete and has all its parts.  This particular piece has a number on the inside it's an identification code.  So we're going to go ahead and take that out before you start otherwise your size won't be correct.  So we're just going to take that out. I'm going to take a q-tip with solvent.  You're going to just smooth out the texture that you put in there with the rotary file.  Alright we've done that. Next thing we're going to do is we're going to check and make sure that what this size is and this is showing its a six and a half and I want to go down to a four and a half. So I'm going to grab my mark a size and i'm going to take two sizes off from a six and a half to four and a half would be removing two sizes.  So we're going to find our 2 size, which would be the number eight on our mark a size and we're going to mark directly at the bottom of the wax.  if you size on the shoulders the odds of that it being tapered is very good and then you're going to end up with your piece too wide one side is going to be wider than the other one side is going to be thinner so it's pretty important that you go ahead and mark in the dead center of there right where the sprue would be at.

 So we're going to mark that two sizes out just to give ourselves a mark and then I'm going to grab the clippers and we're just going to clip that section out.  So now we're going to put it on our ring sizer. This is a mandrel, we use step mandrel you can use whatever it is that you have.   We're going to go ahead and do that we're going to weld this port together we use a blue inlay wax for this purpose or you can use an injection wax that's the same wax of your injection piece.  And I kind of like to use the same wax but a lot of people use the blue inlay wax and what you want to do is you want to make sure that the piece is touching your mandrel and you're going to feel that that gap in and you really only want to remove what you're the size you need.  Okay that's done we'll let that cool a bit and we're going to take the ring off of the mandrel and we're going to start working it and making sure that all of the little holes or the the gaps or the areas on the sizes is worked. So it's already started to cool so we're going to take that off.  We're going to make sure that we have a four and a half, we are right on the four and a half so now we can start working it.  So I'm gonna come in here and i'm going to check and make sure that the inside is filled in.
