Chrysanthos Wax Protect is a paintable water based wax emulsion used for
selective decoration. It works by repelling underglaze or glaze colours that are
applied over it (ie. the wax covers those areas not to be decorated). The wax is
then fired off.
Wax Protect is helpful for creating fine detail due to its brushability.
4.10.2. APPLICATION
Before application, the brush should be moistened thoroughly with liquid soap,
and any excess should be squeezed out. The brush is loaded with Wax Protect
and applied to greenware or bisque. Allow it to dry thoroughly before applying
color or glaze. Any excess should be dabbed off colour or glaze using a barely
damp sponge before firing to appropriate temperatures.
