fw: burn off wax resist?

Randy,

When I get wax resist where I don't want it, I usually put it in my kitchen
oven at around 300 or maybe 350 (although I think it burns off cooler than
that). Then I come back to it after a while, let the pot cool enough to
glaze, and go on with the rest of the pots.

The short answer is: Not Very. If you put it in your kitchen oven, you'll
smell the wax quite soon.
