NY blue? Is that the light blue injection wax?

The light green wax is from Geisswein. No longer available. I like it better, but when I run out I will be bask to the NY blue wax.

Bought the wax pot second hand. The shop it came from was set up in the late 1980s, but it may not have been new when they got it.

I wish I could have got a better look at the original ring.

Light green injection wax? How does it compare to the red and light blue stuff? The shop I work at uses the red for wax injection. Its alright but I wish it made sharper edges.

Love the drain spigot on the side of the injection pot. Good idea! We once had a pot like that, sans spigot. How old is that one?

what was that crank mandrel tool (what does it do?) that you were using in between measuring the ring sizes?
