Lucille Oka Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 What happens when these pieces are fired? Does the glaze heal in the firing? Is the glaze too thick? What is your dipping technique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Not sure why you are having a problem dipping. An air brushing is nice for accenting colors. (see Martha Grover's edges done with airbrushing). But to get a glaze on thick enough and quickly look into low pressure high volume spayers. I use an EZ spray system with a compressor. You need 25 psi. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 For less than 100$ at harbor freight you can get a low pressure high volume sprayer that needs no compressor. My airbrush is a paasche which I've used for 35+ years its not for applying glazes just detail work. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
