Wax Resist: Wax resist is a valuable tool for potters and ceramicists looking to keep their glazing neat and clean. The wax creates a barrier between the clay and the glaze, preventing absorption. It can be used to paint designs on pottery pieces, protecting the unglazed clay with negative space. The wax burns off at low temperatures during the bisque firing process, revealing designs, base colors, or simply the unglazed pot underneath.

How to Use Wax Resist: To make cleaning easier, dip your brush in soapy water or fabric softener before using the wax resist. The only purpose of the wax is to make it easier to wipe the glaze off. After use, rinse your brush in warm soapy water as the wax is water soluble and will come off easily.

What is Wax Resist? - Wax resist is a barrier that repels water and seals over ceramic clay to keep glaze out. The wax is made in the USA, dries quickly, and has just the right viscosity for seamless application.

How to Use It: - Common uses include painting the bottoms of pots and plates before applying glazes to prevent sticking to the kiln furniture. It can also be used to create designs and negative space on pottery, as well as to slow down the drying of clay.

Firing Wax Resist in a Pottery Kiln: Don’t be afraid to apply as much wax resist as you need to your ceramic clay, as it will burn off at low temperatures during the bisque firing process, revealing designs or unglazed clay.

How to Clean Wax: Cleaning water soluble wax resist is simple - just dip your brush in soapy water or fabric softener before using to make for easy cleaning afterwards.
