Hi Cheryl. Yes, I always video my kiln openings. They should all be listed on my channel page. Have you seen any of those? I talk about what glazes turned out, and which did not. Thanks for watching!

I will look again!! I did not see any earlier. Thank you!!

Oh, thanks!!!! :-)

Hello! Thanks for watching! If you're firing above cone 5, I would suggest applying 2 to 3 coats. The hotter the underglazes are fired, the higher possibility of them burning out a little. When you're low firing, you can use them like watercolors. But I have found that if I water them down at all, they are also more likely to burn out. I have problems mostly with Reds, pinks, and greens. Always apply a zinc-free clear over the top, if you want them to be food safe.

I mixed violet, bright red, a little white and blue, to make the pink. It is really hard to find a hot pink, because that stain is so hard to find and produce in glazes. So when I researched it, these are the underglazes that they suggested would get me to a good pink. I'm still not 100% happy with it. Finding a good violet is the key ingredient, I believe.

@@WildAcornsArtStudio Thank you!

Hi! My favorite is Amaco's HF-9 Zinc-free Clear. That works really well. Since I'm using so much Clear, I have started mixing my own ear glaze, using Jessica Putnam Phillips "2167 Clear Glaze". I like Amaco's a tad better, because it brushes on so smoothly. I don't always dip my pieces, but I'm thinking that is the direction I should probably go to save time. As long as you use a zinc-free glaze, over the underglazes, you should be fine. (Zinc can mess with the colors of some of the underglazes. ) Thanks for watching!

Hi. Sure. I have quite a few blues, because I tend to mix them with other colors to get the color I want. I buy the pint sized jars, and then pour them into my plastic tray.) Basically, I use the Amethyst purple, and Violet, and then for blues, I love the Turquoise, Medium Blue, and Electric Blue. The darker the color, the more pigment it has, and the less chance of it burning out in the kiln. And yes, I think applying underglaze or any type of glaze on greenware is risky, unless you're applying very light coats. When I first started using the white slip on my dark clay, I cracked a few pieces, because I applied it when the clay was a little too dry. Who thought clay would have such an attitude problem??? 🙄 😀

@@WildAcornsArtStudio Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions! I really appreciate it.

My favorite clear glazebis Amaco's HF-9 Zinc-free Clear. It is amazingly clear. I apply it gently with a Mayco #8 Fan Brush. Lately, I've been making my own clear glaze, called, "2167 Clear", because I couldn't find Amaco's clear,, and it has been working well for me. I plan to do a video on applying a clear glaze over the underglaze. Everyone's been asking. 😀

@@WildAcornsArtStudio Thank you!

How many coats of the clear?

Hi. It's impossible to find a good hot pink. I have talked to other potters about thus. I ended up buying Amaco's Bright Red, and mixed it with white, with a touch of violet underglaze. You have to apply at least three coats. Good luck. I don't add too much water anymore, because yes, they will burn out at the mid-range temperatures.

@@WildAcornsArtStudio Thank you!

Thank you.

Lol. No, never a dumb question! The camera reverses the images for some reason. 😀 I use my camera phone to video, and that's how it shows.

I wish I could find a way to translate what you're saying. 🤔 Thanks for watching my videos. 😀

I only apply two coats of clear. You have the risk of the clear turning cloudy if it gets too thick.

@@WildAcornsArtStudio ok thanks!

The bottoms are painted with Amaco underglazes, and they don't stick to the kiln shelf.
