Isculpt Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I've been using low fire paperclay, firing it to 05 and 06, and I'm having trouble with areas of underglaze popping off after the firing. Any ideas or suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 This often happens on any clay body if the underglaze is applied too thickly ... Several thin coats which are allowed to dry between applications works better than one thick layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Selsor Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I've been using low fire paperclay, firing it to 05 and 06, and I'm having trouble with areas of underglaze popping off after the firing. Any ideas or suggestions? I use a base of 50% E.P. Kaolin and 50 % 3110 frit. Then I add mason stains in whatever intensity I desire. 2-25% I air brush as well as brush on. This works well when applied thin on dry greenware as well as a wash on texture on bisque. Marcia Selsor, Past president, Potters' Council Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
