How to Wax your Pottery before Glazing

Hi I'm Betty Ingham on behalf of Expert Village. After we fire the clay once in the electric keel and it is bisque ware if we have forgotten our name we just go ahead and write it down and the year and then we dip it in wax. The reason we dip it in wax is because we don't want it to stick to our shelves. When we fire a gas keel our firing from our house we can always smell the wax burning off so the first thing that burns off is the wax because it doesn't take a high temperature to burn your wax off. After we do that we are going to dip it in one of our glazes and we have a lot of glazes we make them in 5 gallons buckets and sometimes we go ahead and put them in dish pans if we are going to do big platters.
