Thank you Jean Campbell for your tip on Acrylic Gloss Medium.
I tried it. It dries faster and resists better than Aftosa wax resist.

Much appreciated, Debby Grant in NH

Bob Hanlin on wed 16 apr 97

That sounds great. Pray, tell where does one acquire Acrylic Gloss Medium?

You get acrylic gloss medium at any store that sells art supplies which
include acrylic paints!

Hi:

For lowfire I have use crayola crayons. Just "draw" on the pattern for resist
with the crayon and glaze away!

charles pearce did some great letters using acrylic paint
on dry pots, then washing them down to get relief. it
seemed to work rather well.

on porcelain the paints leave a slight color depending on
what color you paint with. craypas does the same thing.
very subtle, but nice.

kurt wild sprayed gold lustre on his blackware pots and it
was vivid on the burnished area..nothing happened on the
dull mix area.
wonderful effect.

home from eye surgery. did laser correction.
no more glasses. easier than a dentist visit.
it is a small miracle...glasses since i was 5, now
all gone. we can save the grinding of coke bottles
now. and, considering that my glasses cost me almost
700 bucks last time...it became a bargain.
thumbs next. god, cool sun glasses. what a concept.

Sorry Mel - but actually the reverse was true. The luster seemed to rub
off the burnished area and cling to the dull

I use wax resist little and latex a lot, so I am no expert. But was there
not a while back someone who suggested liquid fabric softener? and someone
who suggested the mediumm used in acrylic paiting? as resists?

it is good to remember, that resist means
what it is...a resist of water based glaze over
bisque.

almost anything that will stick to a bisque pot can be used.
it becomes very user specific.

if you like free and easy, one time/and that is it.
hot wax with a loose brush is wonderful.
(it is what i use, and love...one chance...and that is wax stuck.)

it you want control...then cold wax and a nice
firm brush will work much better.

almost any paint product will work.
varnish, oil based paints, shellac.
it all just burns off in the glaze firing.

a great deal depends on how you paint and resist.
how does the brush drag and feel when adding the resist.
it changes fast with different materials.
you must try many things.
color crayons are great. craypas, (oil crayon) and they often leave
a bit of color on the pot...
a chunk of paraffin used as a free drawing tool works.

so much depends on your make up/abstract expression action painter or
a duck painter....that is a big range.

it often helps to make a marked grid on your banding wheel.
half, quarters using a set of perm sharpies.
red for half, green for quarters, blue for 8th's.
you can quickly reverse and fine the perfect...`other side`.

we used red ink, or food coloring in japan.
(for example: you want a line, two inches from the rim.
measure with a ruler, add a red line. now, each pot has the
same measured line resist./ now add your resist.)
ink will burn out and you can get perfect patterns
established. actually make a mock up/or cartoon
of what you want on your pot. if you are really
fusssssy, use red ink to draw your pattern on the pot in perfect
balance before you add resist or glaze.

often folks think there is only one resist method..there are
dozens...my god, does pure latex rubber work well, or rubber cement.
frisket is perfect. you could use a caulking gun, and smear
good silicon caulk in patterns. there are dozens of caulks and glues
that come in tube form...just use the tube as a drawing tool. endless
varitey.
lots of ways to skin that cat.

I just experimented with finger nail polish on some pit fired tiles. Not
knowing what would become of it I found out it worked great as a resist.
