I'm new here! I am trying to start a small venture with my daughter, hoping to make what are called "cuerda seca" tiles. I see some companies making the patterns with a silkscreen, but by all the research i've done, it seems like using a colored wax resist (say, by Altofsa) will clog the screen up after only a few passes. Has anybody here make a successful wax resist that works well with silkscreening? I've heard everything from mixing wax resist with underglaze; mixing manganese (or stain) with linseed oil (stand oil); Some say to use frit; etc. Hhas anybody actually done this and achieved a line that holds strong enough to resist the colored glazes that are then filled in? And does the line actually adhere permanently with the bisque tile without bleeding, or flaking etc? thanks Michael- 2 replies

Hello everyone! I've been doing a lot of research on silkscreen printing for underglaze decals but I'm not finding much of anything for how to make gold luster decals. I understand that with underglaze screen printing you pour the oil+underglaze onto of the silkscreen to color the decal, but how on earth is this achieved for gold luster decals? If anyone has some advice, books, sites, etc that I can read on how to make this, I would be so grateful! Casi
