flowing glazes
I use commercial glazes for the most part, and it seems that some of the glazes
I buy flow on beautifully, and others seem to "attack" the pot in a thick glob, and dry so quickly that the brush just seems to attach to the pot, and won't glide over the piece. With this type of glaze, I get a very uneven covering. What makes the difference in the two glazes? Is it the components or oxides in the glaze that causes this? I find that Amaco cone 6 is the best I have at the moment for flowing. Any suggestions for other flowing glazes?? I use only cone 5 or 6 electric. Thanks----Martha in Oregon |

i do not know what causes this but i find it happens with certain
colours. i give the jar a good stir then add a few drops of media or distilled water and stir again so making the glaze a little more liquid. it works o.k. without altering the finished result.do not add too much though or the result could be wishy washy. |
