Hi Dante, I’ve just started dipping after using brush on glazes for years but, although I put a little blob of glaze where my tongs had been, I still get marks in the glaze when it’s been fired, any suggestions? Wanted to say thanks for your videos, learned how to throw from them! 😃😃😃
But Donte! I thought we was gonna get into some fun wax resist techniques in this vid :( I'll have to wait for the next one, but I know they're coming.
Oh no. You have to have a really Keen nose to smell it and most of wax resist is just wax and water. Sometimes it creates a little steam if you put it in without letting it dry first but that's about it. There's no research that suggests that burning wax is harmful no more than a candle :)
That works too. But then I have to have a pot of the stuff ready at all times and most of us probably just don't have the kind of space that a whole classroom has.or I so would
My studio owner doesn't allow wax resist because she doesn't like the odor/fumes when it burns off in the kiln. We sometimes use liquid latex, but honestly, willing the bottoms is easier than that is.

Your videos are a delight! I look forward to meeting you in Cincinnatti next year perhaps!!! Well done. Really well done.

I just have to show people what wax resist is for those who don't know what it is first.
Parts two and three will have some fun stuff ;)
Does wax resist create a lot of fumes when it burns off in the kiln? Thank you for he video, super entertaining and informative 😁

Thank you! Love your videos!!!
must wax resist be applied only on bisque? are there different types of wax resist or do you recommend one that suits most clays?
My pottery teacher had a pot of molten paraffin wax that we'd just lightly dip the foot in and it was ready for glazing no brush needed.

Hm, I've never noticed the smell
Thank you, this was so helpful !
My friend with a kiln does not want me using wax resist as she says it will damage her kiln?
“Donte! Get that wax-resist. Stop sitting there rubbing off all day!” :D
