I’ve used wet q-tips to clean glaze off my waxed areas. I also try to clean it off as soon as I can rather than waiting for the glaze to dry out completely. Also a small stiffer brush helps. Thanks for showing us your tips and tricks! Motivated to consider a project like this. 😀
I've talked to some potters, that use a makeup sponge to apply the wax. Never tried it myself, but they say it's easier to control. That's always a good thing, since sometimes the wax does what it wants, and I've not found a good way to get it off a surface, if it runs somewhere you didn't want.
Hello Stephen, could you share also how you do that? Do you Take Just some ordinary duck tape cut it out with a scissor and put it on? Thanks alot! Nana
Very good glazing video Matt!! I don't mind doing tedious work on pots. i like to pay attention to details. I wish I could glaze some of my pots, but I don't have a gas kiln right now. Do you have any videos on kiln building or know of some information on building a medium sized high fired gas kiln?? I love all your videos, keepem coming!!
Matt looking good, I do about the same thing as you, but sometimes I use the help of a old toothbrush Lol. Just to let you know that its good to be able to send comments again sense TH-cam has fixed my channel so I can send them. eddiespottery.
Been there, done that so many times :) your description is good though. Such a lot of work for you! Hope I will be privileged to get one of these for myself at some point. Thanks Matt.
I'm a total newbie to your channel and to pottery making in general. I've always loved the end product and I always wanted to learn how to do it. It's mesmerizing to me to watch pots being thrown on a wheel and I can just imagine the feel of the clay in my hands. I think I'd love it. You're a wonderful instructor, thanks for sharing your talent. One quick question that is probably silly (though I really feel like if somebody wants to learn something, there are no silly questions), but why don't the tongs you use for dipping the pots into the glaze leave little dots on the pot? Perhaps you or some of your knowledgeable followers can answer this for me. Thanks!
Hi, i am on the path of learning how to make pottery for a few years now, and I can answer you this question. It is because after dipping you Take Your fingers and wipe softly over These littel dots that we're left by the toungs. Best wishes Nana
I hope you are getting a minimum of 50 bucks each on your mugs; you're handling your product way too many times to make any profit off them. Can you get 75$ for them ?

Thanks for sharing.....enjoyed the video!
Makes me appreciate that I brush on glazes and don't do too much with wax.
You continue to amaze and inspire!

Loved the video! Mugs look super -fantastic idea too.
Hi Matthew, thanks for these videos. Do you have any videos that show the final result of these after the glaze firing?
Thanks for all the tips! I mostly use wax before bisque fire. It was cools to see other ways to use it
An informative "How To" on how a basic $45.00 dollar mug becomes a $80.00 dollar mug !!
Yep... 🤦🏼♂️

I tuck tape the logo, works great, quick and no wax required.
If I ever make any more I’ll give it a shot
Thanks

Matthew, do you clear glaze the logo? Seems like the wash might not seal the clay well enough. Old video but still good. Thanks
