Trouble with matt glaze
I am using Laguna cone 5 glazes in a gas kiln, and I got some new matt
finish ones that came out like sand paper to the touch. I made test tiles of all the new ones I got, but in the interest of time, I simply dipped the tile in the glaze. The came out just fine, just how the were supposed to. Now, on the pots that I recently fired, I sprayed the glaze, as it my wantin way to do it. Well, some of them are completely, uniformly ruff to the touch, although the color came out as it should have. I'm thinking that I just had it on to thin, might that be the opinion if any of you?? I have experienced my spaying being not quite thick enough, but where the glaze comes out ruff, it is really thin. The pieces I am questioning, the glaze appears to be very uniform, meaning no thin areas, it's just very nasty to touch. You thoughts Sa |

Trouble with matt glaze
Too thin is my vote - did you check the thickness on any of them? Are you
sure you had the glaze mixed well is another option. How much is in a batch and do you put that entire batch in the sprayer? Donna wrote in message ...

Trouble with matt glaze
Not that I'm an expert, but I would also suspect that the glaze was too
thin, so that the droplets have become little corns of sand instead. Maybe dip with the new glazes? or just spray a little thicker? Personally, I prefer using brushes to brush my glazes on, as then I can vary the thickness and get cool effects. Never experienced sandpapery glazes myself. Marianne wrote in message ...
