BlackandWhitedogpottery Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Looking for some help with regarding stains .. When using stains in maybe 10% increments has anyone noticed it affecting the melt of the glaze? I have a runny glaze that I like that will run always but when I add 10% tin (i like it white) it stops running down onto the kiln but it runs onto itself. Do stains work in the same way in the way of stiffening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxden Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 You probably won't like the answer. Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Some colorants are refractory, stiffening the glaze while others are fluxes, making it runny. It also depends on the type of firing, some might be fluxes in reduction and not in oxidation. So the real answer is test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Wow 10% tin is a lot of tin oxide. Try 1-3%. Your glaze may still run with that amount. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
