Technique Description:
Wax Resist is a wax emulsion created to repeal underglazes and glazes applied over it. The wax is burned off during firing, revealing the designs or base colors. Wax Resist also helps prevent chipping or peeling of color when creating sgraffitoed designs through opaque underglazes.

Resist the urge to be ordinary with Wax Resist, the perfect product for creating a variety of looks and designs on your pieces! Wax resist is an emulsion specially created to repel underglazes and glazes applied over it.

Apply it directly onto your piece or over base colors; the wax burns off during firing, revealing your unique designs and/or colors beneath.
