How many of you dilute your wax resist that you buy at the clay store
with water to extend the quanity amount? I've never had a problem with
it, but am amazed at how much my students who have been doing clay for
quite a few years didn't know about it. Kathryn in NC

Kathryn,
I dilute my wax resist because it's very thick out of the jar. So, I get to
extend the quantity as well!

I use small pieces of sponge to apply wax resist
to my pots. I wet the piece of sponge and squeeze
the excess water into a bit of wax to thin it. I'm
guessing the ratio is about 3:1 wax to water,
maybe sometimes 2:1.
I try to work it out so that I use up the wax I
pour out and don't have any leftover to pour back
into the bottle. That way, the wax in the bottle
stays the same.

I always dilute because I find the application easier.

Hi!
I just this week found that the wax resist i had tried and disliked
vehemently in the beginning works really well if diluted =BD & =BD with wate=
r.
Instead of a 2hr dry time it took 10 minutes and the application was
heavenly. I applied it with a sponge brush, 1" wide.
I put the extra in a small mason jar and will continue with this method as
it was really a lot smoother and easier to apply. No drips. Used it with
my GG on the wheel for the bowls... Lots easier too than the hot wax i've
been using.
After glazing it was easier to clean up as well as there weren't the
little bumps of wax resist all over the bottoms to trap glaze.

For those of you diluting your cold wax resist, how much are you diluting it?
I've been told that my problems with my resist stem fact that it's
too thick and that I should thin it. It already seems pretty thin to
me, like skimmed milk.
I haven't had a chance to try this yet. Due to moving house, illness,
travel and several ongoing projects. I haven't been back in the
studio since I came back from Italy. And I probably won't until early August.
