Latex Loser

[Ben xyz]

Tried using this as my first foray into latex resist. Wanted to warn others about this particular product, which ended up leaving a nasty residue on edges, after mid-fire (see around outside of checkerboard circle). Textured too! I thought I totally removed it all before firing - weird hard glossiness as well. Perhaps will try to somehow sand it off. Bummed. Will try another brand in the future.

Thanks Mark - Laguna retail is near here in LA (will give it a go). No need for snow tires ;-)

Nope Betty, not giving up quite yet (thanks!)

I have used a Laguna latex.  I have had it for a long time and I thought I would have to buy a new container since it was thick and lumpy, but I was in a crunch, added some water and it was great!

Good to know any old off the shelf latex might not work. I tend to think all room temperature treatments will totally volatilize in the firing, obviously this is not so! I also recall a potter showing me where she had marked a piece of bisque with a regular pencil that somehow (faintly) persisted through cone 10.

I only found the pencil thing happened once at cone 10, and it was under a specific glaze that I didn’t know could carbon trap.
