Hi. I watched your video on waxing under prep work for glazing. You had only waxed the bottom. I am in a community kiln and the instructor mentioned either to not glaze to the last 1/4 inch of piece or to wax up to the side a bit from the bottom so the glaze doesnt run to bottom and stick to shelf?

Clarification or thoughts?
Thanks!!

Hi Lisa,

I usually only wax the very bottom but after glazing I do wipe away any glaze on the sides about 1/8”-1/4” from the bottom depending on the glaze and if it runs a lot.

Hiello, when you sign on the bottom with this black underglaze, when you put the piece on the shelf, how is it possible that the sign doesnt stick to it ? do you wax it ? Or do you only wax the foot and its enought because the sign doesnt touch ithe shelf ? I am sorry if I missed something !!

Does waxing a piece affect the drying time of the clay? If I wax it and it is still not quite dry enough for carving does the clay take longer to dry with wax on?
