Ben xyz Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 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.

Roberta12 Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 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!

Kelly in AK Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 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.

Callie Beller Diesel Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 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. Kelly in AK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
