I used to trim the bottoms in a certain way, so that I could use a knife edge to 'cut' the excess glaze off, a quick wipe with a damp sponge and voila a clean and neat bottom.. lol<br />Once I mastered that technique I never waxed again. I love the way you've cut the edge of the mug and left the glaze in, lovely..Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331403559800088162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210556460646124901.post-21004797423529686352010-05-15T19:31:43.864-04:002010-05-15T19:31:43.864-04:00I wax my bottoms currently, but I'm thinking o...I wax my bottoms currently, but I'm thinking of making my foot taller and waxing the interior of the footed area.Jolenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542854689730116235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210556460646124901.post-13024586267257796782010-05-15T17:42:53.140-04:002010-05-15T17:42:53.140-04:00Hi Gina, My work doesn't really call for waxin...Hi Gina, My work doesn't really call for waxing and I avoid it like the plague. If I have to, I use liquid rubber resist instead, much more forgiving.Jillatayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745051883784653259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210556460646124901.post-35507684297211088442010-05-15T16:49:40.654-04:002010-05-15T16:49:40.654-04:00I'm learning new things from you-not being a p...I'm learning new things from you-not being a potter.
