It's great that you're so willing to share your technique that took you a long time to learn. I'm going to try it today! Thanks so much Jeff!

I started with a Laguna Clear and the recommended 7% stain. way to much as all I get is opaque colored milk. I'm going to start retesting at 1%. a question I have for you is what is the think I should be thinking about the most when choosing a clear base glaze? Thank for sharing your work, it's truly remarkable Hey there, great work. your use of transparent glaze with the stains is exactly where I am going, although a completely different use.

It is the only wax they sell. It is awesome. They won’t tell me the name but it comes from Columbus Clay Company. It is the only wax they sell. It is awesome.

Can you tell me the name of the ammonia-based was resist that you used, and/or the source? I tried to find it but was unsuccessful. I really need a truly great wax resist that actually does what it is supposed to do! Your writing is so thorough and informative, Jeff – thanks!

Just precaution for splashing?? thanks again & again your work is very impressive! and you have the heart of a great teacher great info, thanks Jeff,

That is a very helpful tip! Thanks for sharing! i didnt know you could put wax resist ontop of glazes and wipe away and the glaze stays. That is a very helpful tip!

Liquid wax really is the best and most pottery supplies places sell it. The one I buy doesn't have the ammonium in it (hence not smelly) and it might wear down with such a vigorous sponge, but it still works great. I still have to do a lot of sponge clean-ups around the edges and it's incredibly labour- intensive. It takes me at least 3 days to glaze a medium kiln load...

I wonder if shellac would work. I have painted with shellac on bone dry work and even the rigorous sponging didnot remove the painted pattern. Might work with glazes too, but the smell could give you a headache. Very cool technique. I wonder if shellac would work.

It's nice to see the complexities of the process stack up. Thanks for sharing! You’ve really got the kinks knocked out of that process! It’s nice to see the complexities of the process stack up.
