I'm responding to a message about some smelly Aftosa Wax Resist someone was
using. I use Aftosa Wax in my glaze inlay process. Ocasionally I've
noticed the same rotten smell, but I've figured out what causes it. It's
not the wax. It's the dead bug or two that gets into the container I keep
the wax in. SUGESTION: Keep the gallon jug sealed. Use a butter container
with a lid to keep your wax in. Also, your brushes will last much longer
if you wash them out with hot water at the end of the day.

Careful using hot water to clean wax from brushes.
many Japanese-type brushes use a glue that seems
to deteriorate under su conditions

In the event that you dissolve the glue, or have the head fall off of
an unglued brush (Like the nice handmade brushes I bought at NCECA),
5-minute epoxy bought at the store for $2 will reattach the heads quite
nicely.
