About Freeman
Freeman is continuing the Du-Matt legacy of building quality
tools with a redesign of this Matt Wax Gun, a tool that had
remained unchanged since its creation by Adolfo Mattiello
in the 1970’s.
Adolfo is now retired and has entrusted his business to
Freeman Manufacturing & Supply Company, a leader in
the jewelry wax industry.
From Freeman President Matthew Turco
“Freeman is thrilled to bring this esteemed line of
premium wax products into the company. With the
Freeman-branded waxes, Ferris waxes, and Matt waxes
now all under one roof, we will be able to extend these
lines even further and continue to innovate for modern
jewelry designers and manufacturers.”

Troubleshooting & Tips
• Always unplug the gun before changing nozzles. Use a wrench
and change nozzles only when the gun is warm (not cool or hot).
• Allow the gun to warm a wax pellet for 10-15 min. before extruding.
• Do not force wax out of heating chamber with excessive pressure.
Instead, increase temperature until wax can be easily extruded.
• Use only a small bowl of water with the “Modeling on Water”
technique. Do not use over tubs, sinks, or other large containers of
water. The gun can be potentially dangerous if dropped into water.
Problem Solution
Air bubbles in wax patterns Decrease temperature
Wax too rm Increase temperature
Wax not rm enough Decrease temperature
Wax oozing out of
chamber instead of nozzle
• Decrease temperature
• Allow pellet in heating chamber
to warm before adding additional
pellet to loading chamber.
