swan Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I put a coat of glaze on a pot last weekend. This weekend I went back to finish glazing. I dipped the same pot into another glaze. The second coat cracked and peeled off in chunks. It happened on 2 pots, same glazes. On one, i lightly tapped and brushed the loose glaze with a brush, then dabbed glaze back on with the brush. - On the other, since is was more of a flat piece, I left it like that. I'm hoping it will still melt as I want it to even though it's cracked and not adhering to the first layer of glaze. I wonder if the first coat (dipped a week ago) got so dry the new glaze couldn't adhere. Other glazes adhered to the same first coat from last week though. So it might be just the two glazes don't work well together. Does anyone have advice for me? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmGraham Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Apply the 2nd glaze while the 1st glaze is still wet. I get the best results by spraying the 2nd glaze. That way the thickness of the 1st glaze isn't affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzine Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Sounds like you have a lot of shrinkage going on with that second glaze. It might be flocculated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
