Description

Mr. Marks’ Wax ON is a wax resist product that contains a special hardener that quickly sets the wax. It was created to eliminate problematic dripping and tacky surfaces when applying wax. Glaze that drips over onto the wax will wipe off easily with a wet sponge. It is ideal for creating detailed, precise surface decoration on bisqueware and can be applied with either a brush or slip applicator. The pink/purple color allows you to easily visualize where wax is applied. The color burns out during firing, just like regular wax. 

Information

NOTE: The wax resist is colored with a pink or purple tint (that burns out completely), but the actual shade varies by batch.

Wax ON should be stored at room temperature and mixed well before use. Brushes and tools used for application of Wax ON should be washed after use.

It does not suffer from freezing problems meaning it is ok to ship when cold!

Embossing technique:

Mr. Mark’s Wax On also works exceptionally well for the “Wax and Wipe” technique on leather-hard or bone dry clay. The wax brushes on smoothly and dries quickly – about 5 minutes. Apply the wax directly onto your  leather-hard or bone dry clay, allow it to dry, then use a sponge to remove the clay from the bare places. The wax seals over the clay underneath it, leaving those areas raised. After bisque-firing, you’re left with a nice embossed (or debossed) texture.
