Wax Resist

For the last several years I have used WAX ON from The Ceramic Shop it’s a water based wax resist.  It’s good for waxing the feet and lids of jars.  It has a purple color and WAX ON  will burn off in the firing process.  WAX ON can be a  little unforgiving when you make a mistake especially when using in the decorating process.

If your bottle becomes a little dry just add some very hot water and give it a shake and it will thin out.  Use caution with the amount of water you use as it’s easy to get thin but hard to thicken.  

The Ceramic Shop also has WAX OFF which is removable wax product that acts more like latex.  Use this link WAX OFF to find out more.  I have never used this product but sounds interesting.  WAX OFF must be removed before firing

The Ceramic Shop is not a sponsor of Ken Horstman Studios, but is a place I use my own money for many of my ceramic supplies.

Any questions?
