Thanks for your reply, Frank.  I really enjoyed your videos and found them inspiring. I can't wait to try out this technique.

Fusing is necessary in general.  But, as I studied the technique of Martin Kline, especially his mastery of building up textures, he does not fuse much.  It takes away a lot of the interesting "crinkles", etc.  I does make it a bit more fragile, so you have to treat them with a bit more care.  But the wax is really hot as you build up the textures, and I haven't had any trouble.

Thanks for sharing, Frank. I noticed that you didn't fuse between layers. Is that an unnecessary step? Does the piece get fused at the end? I thought fusing was necessary to keep the wax from coming off the surface. Can you explain?
