Valarie Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 I glazed a flower pot with Amaco PC 12 blue midnight , it came out a muddy greenish brown color. The instructions said the coats need to be heavy, I put 3 heavy coats on the top portion ,but I guess they weren't heavy enough. Can I reglaze this and get the blue to come out more? Another project also came out darker then I anticipated ,is it possible to re glaze over the darker glaze with a lighter glaze color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Reglazing is always a crapshoot. Sometimes it can save a pot other times not so much. If you have nothing to loose then it's worth a go. I'ld put the refire pieces on a thin waster cookie/slab of clay just in case the thicker refired glazes cause running. (waster slab can just be just a very thin wafer of clay, bone dry but doesn't need to be bisque fired first) How two glazes interact is impossible to predict, test tiles are a good way to see how under/over combinations will turn out. Since the pots you will be refiring have already had heatwork put them in a cooler part of the kiln for the refire if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
