How to Use Sallie Dahmes Finishing Wax

Use Burnt Umber Wax Around the Eyes

Step 1 Shape a small amount of wax between the fingers into a long, thin roll. Place the wax on the lower eyelid and force it into the crease with a modeling tool. Repeat on upper lid.

Step 2 Use the wax to cover any hide nail heads. Shape a nictilating membrane with another piece of wax. Use lacquer thinner to smooth the wax. Clean the glass eye with Windex.

Use Flesh Colored Wax Inside the Nostrils

Step 1 Place a small piece of flesh colored wax deep into the nostril opening. Use a modeling tool to spread the wax inside the nostril.

Step 2 Feather the edge of the wax out to where the white hairs of the nostril start. Smooth the wax with a paint brush and lacquer thinner.

Use Ivory White Wax in the Tear Duct (Preorbital Gland)

Step 1 Place a small amount of Ivory White colored wax into the tear duct and shape it with a modeling tool.

Step 2 Blend the edges of the wax out of the tear duct. Using a soft brush, smooth the wax with lacquer thinner.
