dhPotter 472 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share It is scary how thick the glaze must be to get this effect. The oil spot 1 was sprayed on. Oil spot 2 was poured on - which was a first for me - never poured glaze onto a piece. Did 3 separate pours. Will cut it back to 2. Quote Link to comment

Babs 1,845 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share fantastic, both glazes scarily thick? Quote Link to comment
dhPotter 472 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Yes. My test tile was dipped, 2 seconds for each glaze with SG 165-170, and it came out like this piece. Spraying has been a challenge. Each time the OS2 was sprayed too thin. Spray and wait till dry 3 times for the base, Oil spot 1. Then poured the Oil Spot 2. This is very informative and worth trying Frank Vickery's way (there is a .pdf attachment about midways on this page) ---> http://cone6pots.ning.com/forum/topics/6-oil-spot-mfa-thesis Quote Link to comment
Joseph Fireborn 1,447 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Just read your comments about thickness. Those iron black bases need to be super thick to get the above oilspot effect. I tried it with Pierre's Tenmoku and its absurd how thick that glaze has to be to look good. Otherwise. BROWN. Glad to see you got it going on. Looks great. Quote Link to comment
