[Amaco HF9 clear glaze for dipping?]

Hi Min,

In the label it says it can be applied both ways.

[Amaco HF9 clear glaze for dipping?]

Hi everyone,

I want to glaze some bisque plates with Amaco HF9 clear glaze. I tried brushing it but it was quite thick and didn’t flow easily. It also smudged the underglaze. 

I have read that dipping is a much better technique to achieve a uniform/clean finish and not ruin the underglaze. Do I need to add water/anything else to the glaze to use it for dipping please? If so, how much?

Thanks!

[Amaco Velvet Underglaze + Zinc Free Glaze]

Hi,

I have recently bought Amaco velvet underglazes. I was planning on using them on bisque stoneware plates (bought from a wholesaler). Because I want the plates to be dinnerware safe, I thought of buying Amaco’s Zinc Free glaze (HF9).

Can I apply the underglazes to the bisque stoneware, let them dry, apply the glaze and then fire? (So only 1 fire overall)

I emailed Amaco about this but they were not helpful, they only said the approach above would smear the colors. Is this true?

thanks.
