Sheet wax (#71-10400) provides uniform distribution of wax to 
improve registration accuracy of the sample to the fixture, and 
can be easily cut to size and placed on a room-temperature fixture 
before melting. While it can be used with samples of any size, it is 
easier to achieve a uniform wax thickness preparing larger 
samples (≥ 10 mm2). It is typically used for dicing, thin sections 
and parallel delayering. 
 
Sheet wax is resistant to acetone and non-soluble 
in water; use Allied’s Wax Dissolver (#71-10210) 
to remove it from the sample and fixture after 
use. 
 
 
Instructions 
1. Cut out the sheet wax to fit the required sample shape. 
2. Remove the lining from the back of the sheet wax, place the wax on a fixture/paddle and 
place the sample on the wax. 
3. Place the fixture with the sample and wax on a hot plate at 150 ºC. 
4. The wax will be completely melted when all the bubbles have spread out. This will create 
an even, uniform layer. 
5. Remove the fixture from the hot plate and allow it to cool at room temperature. 
6. To remove the sample after preparation, place the fixture back on the hot plate and 
reheat the wax. Once the wax is soft, remove the sample. Sheet wax is not effective after 
the first use since the wax layer has already been thinned out. 
Note: Do not quench the fixture to cool the wax; the wax may become brittle, causing 
the sample to break off.
