Rebekah Krieger Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I fired a load of sprayed glazes and the coloring turned out beautifully, the problem is that I sprayed it too lightly and they are quite dry to the touch, almost unpleasant. Ideally I would want to get them re fired in a salt kiln. Problem is I don’t have access to a mid range salt kiln. does anybody have a salt mix recipe that might work in a mid range fire that I could spray on and fire mid range electric? Or another proposed solution would be welcome. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Hi Rebekah! I don't have a salt recipe* suggestion, however, for checking sprayed glaze thickness, I've used small squares of masking tape (turned forty-five degrees, a square is a "diamond"); once the glaze has dried, catch the edge/corner of the tape with a pin or somewhat, pull it off, voila! There's the buildup on the tape itself, and also the clean edge revealed by pulling the tape. From there, the diamond shaped bare clay can be left as an accent, or filled... *salt, I would be hesitant to introduce any salt to my kiln.

C.Banks Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I've heard of people using seawater to enhance or bring soda like affects. maybe a brine solution *sprayed on the pot not into the kiln, might be fun to try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denice Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I have use Duncan Clear glaze many times to rescue a glaze that I put on too thin. It fires from C04 to Cone5/6, Duncan has three different types of this protective clear glaze. The gallon I have is very old, Duncan only had one type of clear to select from years ago. You would have to do a little research to figure out which one would work the best on a salt glaze. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 @Chris Campbell Care to comment? I cannot find your earlier post on soda ash (I think it started with you looking for a soda ash substitute). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I soda washed unglazed portion of yunomi. Quite toasty in colour so may change the colour you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 It works better if you can spray it on in a way that mimics flame patterns. If you do an overall coating, it flattens things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
