Dear Daniel,

Water wax is emulsified wax so that it is always brushable but dries to a
normal wax coating that can be used as a resist or as I use it, to prevent
fast drying. It is good to use on mug handles as well as any protuberances
that might cause trouble if they dried too fast. It can also be thinned
with water for more spread. I believe that Mobil Cer is about the best I
have used, but there are many other brands on the market available through
your ceramic catalogs.

Regards,

Bonnie Staffel
