docweathers Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 With my squeeze bottle I can make nice continuous lines, until they dry and crack into dashed lines.. I don't see that problem with others work. How fo I fix this? I am usually working on ^6 bisque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 What are you squeezing out of your bottle? Slip? Glaze? Underglaze? Overglaze? My understanding is that majolica is a white tin-opacified glaze that gets over glaze decoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docweathers Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I am squeezing out a glaze formulated for majolica. San Diego State U Majolica - C 6 Dolomite 2.3 Whiting 8.7 Feldspar 35.8 EPK 5.8 Flint 35.7 frit 3124 10.5 Zircopax 1 Bentonite 2 Epsom salts 0.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 My thought would be it's going on too thick. I would try watering it down then, (if necessary) adding just enough more epsom salts solution to thicken it up enough to trail without it running off the pot. 3 hours ago, docweathers said: I am usually working on ^6 bisque Did you mean ^6 clay bisqued to ^04 or thereabouts? You are trailing on bisque, not a base glaze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I agree with Min that it's likely too thick. Overglaze colors are typically saturated with colorants so they can be brushed on without going over them a second time. So they don't need to go on very thick to show up.

docweathers Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I am sure you are right, but , but , but, often I am putting it on thick to get a 3d effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 3d effect by glaze or onglaze? Good luck with that one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyAmores Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Is the effect you get similar to tube-lining (like Moorcraft style)? A recipe for the thick 'outlining' glaze, from a book of mine, haven't yet tried it-- 36 kaolin 36 quartz 16 ball clay 4 whiting 4 standard boron frit 4 high alkaline frit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need to use a colored slip if you want a raised effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
