#amaco #glaze #review
hello potters, today we talk about Albany Slip Brown from the potters choice Lin Amaco pc-32.
this was one of my favorite glazes quite some time ago to go at aloha fired arts.
this video is a little bit different as you and I will essentially be fighting. on the right is my bowl where I usually poor my glaze on in a fashion much different from the way most people glaze. on the left are 3 bowls I'm which I will layer 2, 3, and 4 layers in order to see if I can get different results and to prove that my way is ultimately better and faster 😛.
please note that I do not think this test is ultimately conclusive but instead it's more of a demonstration of how I use my glazes versus how we are told to in regulation. if you would like me to try this experiment with another glaze please let me know in the comments down below.

Thank you SO much for posting this video. I'm a beginning hobbyist with limited funds. The process of buy the dry glazes and getting them mixed seemed like it would be a financial burden between the cost of dry glazes and then needing special equipment. At the same time, I was afraid to use my wet-bought glazes for dipping or pouring, and nowhere that I looked seemed to offer conclusive evidence that the results would be good if I tried. Your videos have reassured me this is a chance worth taking. Thank you so much!

I have rewatched this review and in the past year I have added more Amaco brush-on glazes to my glaze stock. With much respect, I rescind my previous comment and easily see how you can pour these glazes instead of labouring over coat after coat after coat…. I am a dipper as I don’t have the patience it takes for bruising on multiple layers. One saving grace is that I live in Jamaica and the brush on layers don’t take too long to dry. Thanks for your reviews, I really enjoy your testing. Pls experiment Blue Rutile brush vs pour.

I have been pleased with 4 coats brushed SINGLE FIRED.....Albany Brown should be renamed for pour to Donte Cream Light Tan I will continue to brush and pour depending on my mood and will definitely pour the Albany Brown if I want a cream coloured pot. Thanks for sharing and opening up the possibilities. Pouring has worked well for SINGLE FIRE too. I would say it was a poetic draw between four and pour.

I actually pour inside bowls and then brush the out or pour outside like you do. Agree pouring is better. I also brush multiple glazes sometimes so get many coats which are amazing.

Thank you! Thank you for this Donte! I did the pouring instinctively today (first time glazing at home) because brushing takes soooooo long.... I figured I had nothing to loose...well maybe a few pieces, but definitely worth trying. Still haven't seen the results out of the kiln because I want to test more pieces. 😁. Quick question, when you add water, what is the consistency you're looking for approximately?

Doing it with a celadon type glaze would probably show the shortcomings of brushing vs pouring/dipping even better. But there's probably also a difference between glazes that have been formulated to be brushed vs traditional dipping glazes

Interesting, I hadn't considered pouring brush on glazes before, going to give it a try. Question - was the pour just 1 coat?

@larajaniszewski 3 жыл бұрын

I have a question - I carved a pattern into a mug, put an underglaze into the pattern, waxed the underglaze, and then poured on an amaco glaze. And the glaze adhered beautifully to the wax, to the point that I had to wash it all off and try again. It sucked. Any idea what I did wrong? Too little wax? Wrong wax? I read that "this happens when you try to pour on a brushing glaze", but I like pouring on brushing glazes....

I would say that melty effect you can get with brash too;) your layers even 4 not too much glaze on a brash…. That’s why effect was so ;) but I like pouring more too:) and it’s saving time you are right ! But if you have very little of glaze you can do glaze with brush or airbrush …. so it’s just result of no other way 🤷🏻‍♀️😉😎🥲

Do you think if you added some water to the glaze and thinned it out a bit you could get a "3-4 coat" result from pouring it on? THX

@vitaeterna79 3 жыл бұрын

Very helpful video thank you! Wondering if you’ve ever heard of suspenaid and have ever used it to thin out the glazes for pouring or dipping. I’ve never used but it was recommended to get more out of the pint bottle as well as to thin down the glaze a bit. Personally I’ve always found Albany slip brown to be very thick and have to thin it with water before I even brush it on. Can’t imagine pouring or dipping it without it being too thick. But there are other PC glazes that I love and use all the time that I’m so sick of brushing. Would LOVE to start pouring or dipping without wasting. Also what do u do with the excess glaze after u pour it? Do u add it back into the pint jar or do u keep it in a different airtight container? Thanks!

Haha we won, I was on your side. I would always choose to pour I do whenever I can. Back when school was still in I began to be able to throw faster than I could glaze by brushing. I could hardly do more than 3 bowls 1 h 15 min. They just dry so slow but like don’t have enough glaze on them. I get so frustrated just sitting there litteraly watching glaze dry.

I noticed you told others that you usually add about a third cup of water to your pint of glazes to make them more of a dipping glaze. I think this is a great idea to save a lot of time! I just worry about the cleanup and how much glaze is wasted when you pour it back into the pint bottle. Do you add even more water to this process? If so, about how much? Do you fire to cone 5 or 6? Thank you for all the work you do for us. ☺️

You can buy the powder and it is cost-effective if you're buying it in bulk. but if you want to be truly cost-effective I would highly suggest making your own glazes. I do it and I know how to make 5 gallons of a glaze for underneath $80. But you have to learn to put a recipe together and a tiny bit of chemistry.
