Chantay Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I recently switched to a high iron red clay. The clear I am currently using looks terrible on it. Reminds me of cat vomit. Turns the clay from a warm red/brown to a lighter cool tan. I will try and post a pic later today. The glaze comes from standard, MSD-29. I am looking for something I can make myself. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I have lost my book from Val Cushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 That is a Laguna Morrocan Sand glaze, not manufactured by Standard. Most likely any clear will look very similar. Raw clay and clear glazed clay rarely look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Puckett Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I really like the Glossy Clear Liner Glaze from Mastering Cone Six Glazes. I have never had a problem with it. Wish I could say that about all my glazes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantay Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Diane, have you used it over a dark, red clay? I have always used white clay in the past and have two clear glazes. Neither look good over the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaria Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I've used Ron Roy Clear on Standard 200 clay (it's a lighter brown) and it, too, looks like poop. Really icky color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Puckett Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I have not and probably will not. Maybe someone near you has some they would let you dip a small piece in. If you want me to do a test tile for you, send me a private message, and I will send my address. I fire to cone 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venicemud Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 When I started using a new (for me) clay from Laguna, their very dark B3, I had problems with both clarity and crazing. I made up small batches of clear from Mastering Cone 6 Glazes, from their section on "Expansion Test Glazes" . Both the glaze #1-Low Expansion and Glaze #2-Medium-Low Expansion worked beautifully, so I just combined the two batches. Now, when making up fresh glaze I just use the Glaze #2.
