Maria Harris, Have you read these posts and changed your mind about using them
in your glaze? Not to be an alarmist, but I hope you reconsider wax as an
additive due to the apparent health/environment hazard.


Alisa,
Thanks for the concern, but I'm not using paraffin. I'm a firm
believer that any *aroma* emitted from the kiln during a firing isn't
safe for breathing, which apparently includes the latest findings
about homemade bread!!
