The Wax Gun

Playing with wax is fun but can be dangerous. While in the hardware store I came up with the idea to use a Glue Gun with cast wax sticks.

This project is well under way and consists of a temperature control circut added to a glue gun. The gun has a new nozzle with a smaller hole. Wax sticks are cast up in to a copper tube and pushed out. Then inserted in to the back.
I need to work on a better feeder as at the moment the wax stick is being crushed and breaks.

video of it in operation can be found here
