18. How to remove Floor Wax on Raku

Readers: I have a couple pots that didn't turn out in my raku fire and
would now like to run through a high fire (body is OK for that) kiln.
How can I remove the floor wax so the glaze will adhere and bond well
enough? Is an oven hot enough or what method works best to
clean them up for a refire. Thanks.

Just toss them in a low bisque.

Have you looked at using floor wax remover followed by soap and water
and a good rinse?
If you have used regular paste wax as the polish, it will come off
with paint thinner (or charcoal lighter fluid).
After washing it, let it dry completely then add your glaze high fire it..
Woof makes a good point about making more pots, but in one of his
previous posts he also emphasized trying out something new and
different just for the pleasure of learning something new.
