Hello,

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Can I single fire pieces using Mayco S-2101 Crystal Clear Brushing glaze? Dickblicks site reads yes, but on the bottle it reads to apply to bisque, and not greenware. I reads to apply to cone 04 bisque. Then dry thoroughly and fire to shelf cone 06.

I am using a low fire clay body, (cream white earthenware) the cone number of the mature clay is 06-04. I am using a Manual Kiln with sitter. 

I plan on letting the pieces dry to bone dry before applying the clear glaze.

Does anyone know which brand makes a clear glaze that can be applied to either bone dry, greenware or wet clay? 

Thank you very much !

@aliceb, one of the things that is repeated all the time with ceramics is "try it and see". There are just too many variables to answer your question with a definite yes or no answer. Try a piece and see how it comes out. Fire your kiln slowly. I haven't come across any manufactured glazes that specifically say they can be used for single firing.

Most commercial glazes say that.  As Min says, the only way is to test.  Some glazes will behave, some won't.

Test, Test, Test
