A cork applies wax without heat. That makes it the tool for the situations an iron cannot reach: the top of a course, a hotel room, the back of a car before a second run.
- Hardwood handle with a cork face
- Applies wax at or above room temperature
- Suitable for all wax types and overlays
How it works: friction. Rubbing generates enough heat to soften wax and work it into the top of the base — not deep saturation like an iron, but enough to leave a working layer. It is also how pastes and block overlays are normally applied.
Do not press hard. Corking is about heat and polish, not force. Moderate pressure with many passes builds heat evenly; leaning on it just wears the cork.
What it is not: a substitute for hot waxing. A corked layer sits on the surface and wears off in a few runs, where ironed wax soaks into the structure and lasts days. Use a cork as a top-up on a base that is already prepared.
