EKasse Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi everyone, I've made a yellow slip using my current clay body with (i think) about 10% yellow stain. I can't quite remember. However I fear that i haven't put quite enough stain in as it seems quite pale in colour (it should be a sunshine yellow - but its much paler than that). Is it possible to add in some more stain to the mix? Would i have to water it down and re-seive the slip in order to mix this well? Or will i have to chuck it all and start again? Any advice much appreciated! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liambesaw Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 You can add more stain, just sieve it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Don't forget it might look brighter if you use a clear glaze over it. Have you tested it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Which stain? I find the praseodymium based one looks a bit paler before it’s fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tested it? i've finally got round to glaze firing a sample and it's now a lovely warm yellow - completely different to it's colour on bisqueware :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preeta Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 The secret that i discovered by accident is if you just wet your bisqueware (after you slip it during green ware state) you will see a brighter color close to how it appears under clear glaze but not a 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
