 Casting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Once the plaster and latex mould is finished, molten wax is poured into it and swished around until an even coating, usually about ¼ inches thick, covers the entire inner surface of the mould.
Each hollow wax copy is then "chased": a heated metal tool is used to rub out all the marks which show the "parting line" or "flashing" where the pieces of the mould came together.
Molten metal is poured into an open-ended, water-cooled copper mould, which allows a 'skin' of solid metal to form over the still-liquid centre.

 The Bronze Casting Process
To make a wax cast, molten wax is painted into the rubber mould, taking care not to trap any air pockets in the surface and is gradually built up to an even thickness.
After trimming any excess from the edges, the sections of the mould are assembled and through an aperture made for the purpose, cooling molten wax is poured in and then out of the mould.
The wax needs to be encased in a mould able to withstand the high temperature required to melt out the wax from inside.

 Method of making lipstick samplers - Patent 6015513
The distribution of wax occurs as a consequence of centrifugal force on the droplet 30 as the spindle is turnably driven.
The spinning also causes a rapid cooling of the coating 28 of the wax material, all to the end that a relatively uniform and smooth finish is imparted to the outer surface of the coating 28 on the tip portion 26.
However, depending on the viscosity and other characteristics of the wax material being applied, it may be desirable under some circumstances, to commence turning of the spindle 14 while the plastic form 16 is still immersed, either partially or wholly, such variations being considered to fall within the scope of the invention.
