Marcia Selsor Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 so are you wanting to color terra sigs? You can use mason stains for that. They can be added after the making of the sig. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane Puckett Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I use mason stains in my colored slips. The biggest problem is the need to constantly stir them. If anyone has a suggestion to solve that issue, I would love to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought vitreous slips might be the ticket. Do they give a different surface than spaying a thin layer of frit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
