Can be used for waxing the foot of thrown pieces before glazing or using as a decorative design technique. The product is blue out of the jar so when painting with it, you can easily see where it’s applied.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL USE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eApply one generous coat of Wax Resist. Even a thin coat will repel color. 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 color is applied over Wax Resist with an underlying unfired glaze, any “beads” of color 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaution: Any color 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. Preconditioning the brush is not necessary with Mayco Wax Resist. If Wax Resist should dry in the brush, it may be removed using mineral spirits. Wax Resist is removed by firing in the kiln.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHELPFUL HINTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA different effect will result when the beads are allowed to remain during the firing. This option can be used to advantage with some techniques.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuring the firing process, there is additional smoke that will be given off as the wax is burned off. Allow extra ventilation of the kiln during the early part of the firing to remove these fumes and gases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember that because the wax repels the color it can fall off the ware and could land on an adjacent piece. Allow extra room when loading the kiln.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis product has a tendency to chip when trying to sgraffito through it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWax Resist will only repel color during application. A glaze applied too heavily may run during the firing, and Wax Resist will not keep it from moving onto an area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDramatic Batik effects can be achieved by layering the Wax Resist between coats of color or simply by using Wax Resist as an aid to keep color off an area while painting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information, please download the \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maycocolors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wax_Resist_mayco_edits.pdf\" title=\"Mayco Wax Resist Safety Data Sheet\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #41b6e6; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMayco Wax Resist Safety Data Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #41b6e6;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2430\/4931\/files\/MaycoSCFiring.pdf?v=1709150043\" title=\"Mayco Firing Guide\" style=\"color: #41b6e6;\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mayco Colors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67886301348072,"sku":"MAY AC302-16","price":14.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2430\/4931\/files\/Maycowaxresistpint_9248e464-9d82-415a-9846-52077e271817.jpg?v=1791922588","url":"https:\/\/diamondcoretools.com\/de\/products\/mayco-wax-resist-16-fl-oz","provider":"DiamondCore Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
