BW Paraffin is absolutely AMAZING. it has a very Stretchy feel when heated. Hell, if you added a few Crayons and a little Bee's wax to the BW Paraffin, you could EASILY Sculpt with just those!
I add also bees wax and white wax (parrafin wax) to Chavant soft clay and I got very hard wax, awesome works. of course you can use same waxes for the monster clay or similar ones. if you want the different color of the wax add what you want oil color. Great result..!
Microcrystaline wax has different properties than Bees Wax. Tim Bruckners Formula calls for Victory Brown Microcrystaline, Bee's Wax, Caranuba, injection wax. ect. if you want me to list out how to make it ill tell you. but for hard carving wax, Scott Hensey is the best ive used. Tim's is an All rounder, though! you could sculpt with it, finish it, everything!
If you like Monster Clay. It’s a great product but not for me. Using his method you can easily fine tune properties for the task at hand. I’m 63 and always mixed my own because in a small town before the internet there was little alternative. Same is true for much of the world even now. Thanks to the video to encourage experimentation in material. I smell the sweet beeswax and carnauba even I as I type. Time to check the pot 😊

What about the microcrystalline wax? Will it work the same way if use it instead of beeswax?

could i add wax to monster clay?
they only seem to have soft clay and i regret buying it XD
its harder to make small sculptures with it
Monster Clay literally IS a sculpting Wax. its got more wax in it than anything else. but yes, you could add Caranuba into it, and it'll harden it up
Wouldn't it be easier to just use monster clay to achieve the same purpose ?
Yes I was thinking the same thing

You can buy it. I want to experiment with this though. I seen some people make their own “monster clay” in bulk which got me searching this
