Amaco "Potter's choice" glazes
DarrellVanDrooly replied to Claypple's topic in Clay and Glaze Chemistry
I've had lots of trouble with palladium. I apply 2-3 coats and fire it to ^6 with a 15 minute hold. It's usually that nice silver but is occasionally that ugly black. I have also found that it looks especially silvery under a clear glaze. -
Amaco "Potter's choice" glazes
DarrellVanDrooly replied to Claypple's topic in Clay and Glaze Chemistry
I have had very bad luck with potter's choice glazes. I agree they all turn out really dark and muddy looking. The only one I ever use is Palladium which i've had a lot of trouble keeping from running. -
I don't know what my kiln manual says, but I fire in Colorado blizzards (down to -20 degrees) and my kilns do just fine. Darrel
