on this tutorial (i dont remember his name)he has some small gaps so he uses wax to fill these gaps.i have two questions.is this wax possible to use on molds that we will do vaccum insfusion or vaccum bagging?i mean it will not completely melt right?after cure we will be able to take it off?

also there is any other material to use for filling gaps like these and maybe a little bigger?always i want to put my mold on vaccum bagging/infusion after that!

The Yellow filleting wax you see can be used for room temperature processes including vacuum bagging and infusion.  Occasionally people will make temporary mould repairs or changes using the wax.  Resin does not stick to it so it can be easily scraped off after the resin has cured.

Warren i also saw this type of plasticine in the store (https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/newplast-plasticine-modelling-clay
im sure i can use this also to fill some gaps on my mold.but whats the difference between these two?

The plasticine is firmer and a bit harder to mould (until warmed up).  Also it has a slightly less smooth finish on the surface.
