Wax Resist - 120ml

Wax Resist ( Wax Emulsion) acts to repels glaze 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. It can be applied to unglazed greenware or bisque or it can be applied over previously applied, unfired colour. It can be applied with a brush, sponge or spattered. Each method allows the artist to expand the options in the decorating process.

Application Recommendations

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.
