I’ve had nothing but good results brushing palladium on the rims of plates and printing with it on plates. Very happy with it. Maybe 1.brushing, 2. on a horizontal surface, and 3. firing to cone 5, not 6, is the solution.

Table only? No slab roller? And where, please.

Looking for a slab roller in great condition. Bonus if it’s in New England.

Finally found a gallon at both Bailey and the Ceramics Shop online. Thanks for your thoughts.

I use Amaco HF-11 on 266. Careful about a slow bisque, and then no (significant) pinholes.

What is your favorite commercial mid-range satin clear? Have been using Amaco HF-12, but it is, of course, unavailable these days. Thanks for taking the time.

Since Amaco HF-12, satin clear, is unavailable, what is everyone’s favorite commercial cone 5/6 satin clear? (Unable to mix my own.) Thanks.

I tried adding Oxiclean to a moldy slip. BEWARE! The result was a gluey, gritty, though mold-free, mess .

Thank you very much for the advice. Takeaway is that either method can work.

I use Steve Davis’s firing schedule on standard 266 and get no more bloating at glaze cone 5. Recommended. https://ceramicartsnetwork.org/daily/firing-techniques/electric-kiln-firing/bisque-firing-schedule-help-prevent-glaze-faults/

I have green mold (Pretty sure it’s mold) growing In my white slip. Has anyone tried freezing slip until needed? I don’t think freezing hurts clay, so would be fine for slip. Alternatively, would peroxide or an oxiclean product change the chemical composition and ruin the slip? p.s. for those of you with stinky bacteria in your waste water, oxyclean works great.
