The secret of a good modelling wax lies in the recipe. Cavex is said to carefully combine paraffin, microwaxes, natural wax and pigments to ensure the melting points are never too far apart, thus ensuring an even and predictable melting and curing. Cavex offers a choice of soft, regular, hard and extra hard. The procedure is the same, but the melting point and the final hardness differ. The wax plates are of ample size and usually sufficient for two prostheses.
