mills_j_l Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Does anyone know what this is and how it relates to ceramics? I got it in a box of free glazes from a local second hand art supply store. I've spent hours googling it and haven't come up with anything relating to ceramics or glazing. Any thoughts?

glazenerd Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I think have an old bottle of bisq repair paste. The label reads " bisk a trim" Nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnolia Mud Research Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Could be a version Egyptian paste, a very low firing "self-glazing" material. LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 could be French Paste Porcelain. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I use to practice Pate-sur-pate about 45 years ago. It is a French process of building up surface design. Possibly that material is for such a purpose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pâte-sur-pâte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Looking at the contents of that jar, it doesn't look like anything dried up, but rather looks like a powdered ingredient. I would guess it is not 2 FL OZ of French paste. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Is it ceramic, or is it glass? For some reason, it makes me think of glass pate du verre. This is kind of compounded by the fact that a Google search for French paste comes up with a lot of glass jewelry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Sometimes free is just another word for trash -The way I see it is you can test it or toss it . Since even after testing it you can not get anymore tossing it makes the most sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of compounded by the fact that a Google search for French paste comes up with a lot of glass jewelry. The Pate sur pate is slip. Pâte-sur-pâte Pâte-sur-pâte is a French term meaning "paste on paste". It is a method of porcelain decoration in which a relief design is created on an unfired, unglazed body by applying successive layers of white slip (liquid clay) with a brush. The effect is somewhat similar to other types of relief decoration such as Jasperware, but as a mould is not normally used, the artist is able to achieve translucency.
