How high do you have to get a kiln to burn off wax resist?

Not really sure what temp wax resist will burn off, but if I make a mistake
with wax resist on a piece, I put the piece in with my next bisque firing and
let it burn off in there.. just to save on electricity and not waste energy
just to burn off the wax on that one piece.. hope that helps.. crista.....

Hi Randy... I think it's about 500 degree's to burn off. But if its not
really bad spot if you run it under hot water or use a sponge and hot water
wipe.. I've done both to get it off.. also sand paper is good to get it
off bisqueware..
If you really messed it up or if there is no hurry and you have another
bisque ready to fire and have the room then go ahead and rebisque.
For the pots sake dont go up to fast if your going to just bake it off
at 500 ; take it easy on the cool down also.. Its been a while since I had
to do something like that so I dont remember exactly how I went about going
up or down in temp. but I got a feeling if it was important enough to burn
off I went slow both directions..
Hope this is some help and in time.. cat

I'm not really certain of the exact point at which wax will burn, but I
believe it is roughly 350 degrees F. If you either put your pot to be
treated into a kiln, or your kitchen oven, and take it up to this temp
or a bit higher the wax will burn off quickly.
Hope this helps
