It is 1/16" dia. wax on a spool.

This is NOT the "What's it For?" forum.

It's (dental?) casting wax, me thinks.

OK so from now on all posts should be answered with "its a coin with a bird on it, or its a token with a man on it, or its a buckle or its a piece of metal shaped like a star." We do not need to identify its purpose.

Awww lightn up guys. ...It's a "what is it" And I am certainly interested.

I thought it might have been candle wick material at first but I don't see cord in the center.
Dental wax I thought, came in sheets.

Interesting

Probably a machine-fed spool for a hot glue using production device.

Re: What's your guess on this one?

It looks like a spool of old "weed eater" "string" that I bought at an auction two years ago. The stuff was so brittle it was worthless.

Agree'd mojjax.

Spools of wax are all over the internet... used in machining, dentestry and jewelry making. It also comes in a variety of colors and is marked by several companies for those different uses.

Without a lable it'll be difficult to know for what purpose your was was designed/sold.
