huck Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Can I put a clear glaze on bisque then when it is thoroughly dried, apply a commercial liquid stain, over the glaze, then when dry fire the piece. I have heard about the Mason Stains, but haven't progressed far enough in my newbie knowledge to mix my own glazes and stains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 When using Mason stains as an overglaze, check Linda Arbuckle's handouts on Majolica. She suggests mixing them with Gerstley Borate. they need a flux. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huck Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Thank you for the reply. My wife and I did poured ceramics back in the 80's and things has changed a lot since then. We used to pour a mold, pop out the item the have it fired. Once we got the bisque back we would underglaze fire then glaze or use commercial off the shelf(COTS) premixed liquid stains to paint the item then apply a clear coat. Since we have gotten into hand building and throwing pots we have found we can apply underglaze to the green ware and bisque and apply layers of glazes over one another. So if I use COTS premixed liquid stains I can now use it under or over glazes on bisque. Is that a correct assumption? Huck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
