Another alternative to wax resist is Vaseline. This works great around the base of a piece or to create resist patterns that would be difficult with a brush. You can quickly spread Vaseline on piece with your finger and not worry about dripping or loading up a brush properly.

You just want to be carefully handling the piece with your Vaseline fingers. If you fingers are not completely clean of Vaseline, you will leave smudge marks on the piece that will resist the glaze when applied later.
