Gill71 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Hello! I'm really hoping someone can set my mind at rest! I stupidly applied wax resist to several pieces in the wrong place and need to remove stand re glaze - I tried washing them in the dishwasher - that's removed any visible evidence but of course has left a fine layer - on re glazing the glaze is crawling - I know I need to retire but to what temperature? Do I need to worry about going over 500 degrees? Any advice greatly appreciated. Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kielb Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 I believe 500 - 800 degrees wax begins to burn off at 500 so I usually take it to 800 to be sure all is removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyK Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Welcome to the forum, Will...You might consider taking a propane torch to the wax resist... But before you do that, walk us through your entire process that got you to this point. Did you apply the resist before you glazed? had you fired the glazed piece before you put it in the dishwasher? Did you resist it, then realized that it was in the wrong place, ran it through the DW, then glazed and fired? Knowing all of what you did would help us give you better direction...

Callie Beller Diesel Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 If you just need to remove wax, it’s typical just to put it in your next bisque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
