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