Wax Resist is a water-based coating that acts to repel glaze and prevent colour from adhering from the surface to which it is applied. As the kiln is fired the wax dissipates, leaving the surface beneath as it was prior to firing.

REPELS GLAZE

Wax Resist repels colour when brushing underglaze or glaze or when dipped glaze is applied over it. Can be used for waxing the foot of thrown pieces before glazing or using as a decorative design technique. Product is blue out of the jar so when painting with it, you can easily see where it’s applied.

GENERAL USE

Apply one generous coat of Wax Resist. Even a thin coat will repel colour. Once an area is coated with Wax Resist a second coat will not adhere to the previous one; it will bead up on the first coat.

Once a coat of Wax Resist is applied it can only be removed by firing. When glaze or colour is applied over Wax Resist with an underlying unfired glaze, any “beads” of colour remaining on the wax need to be removed prior to firing. These can be removed by gently wiping or pouncing a clean, damp sponge over the waxed areas.

Caution: any colour left on the wax will adhere to the fired surface. A varied and dramatic effect in the fired finish can be achieved with a sea wool sponge.
