I would suggest using our RM1075 Heavy Medium instead it is much thicker and better suited for screen printing, hope this helps.

Hello
Can I mix stain with the underglaze medium on bisqued earthenware?
Thanks!

You will have to turn the stain into an underglaze first by mixing with 25% underglaze flux, then mix the underglaze powder 50'50 with the underglaze medium to create a brushable colour.

They are very similar and can be interchanged if needed.

Do I have to mix a stain with the underglaze flux and then the underglaze medium to make a brush on underglaze or just the underglaze medium?

That is correct you need to make the stain into an underglaze powder first then mix with the medium to create a brushable colour.

This product burns of it is only used to suspend underglaze powder to make it brushable.

I want to brush cobalt oxide on to bisque so you can see the brush strokes. I tried this by just mixing with water but found it too runny, too easy to brush off once dry and it needed constant mixing as it kept settling. Would this underglaze medium solve my problems?

Yes I think you will get better results using the medium it has more body to it so will run less however you may have to dilute with a little water just to get a better flow.

Can this be used as a glaze?

Hi, no. This is a medium for converting powdered glaze into a brush on form. The medium itself is not a glaze. Hope this helps!

Hello
I am interested in making underglazes with this medium and the scarva nano colour underglaze of 100g each
My questions are these.
1)Do I need anything else except the medium and the nano colour underglazes to prepare the underglaze?
2)Is the medium really needed if I apply the underglaze only on greenware?
3)You suggest to mix 2 parts of medium with 1 part of underglaze.
As an example which is correct?
---200 grams!!!--- medium for 100g underglaze or
---200 ml!!!--- medium for 100g underglaze?

To make a brushable underglaze simply mix the underglaze powder with the medium and pass through a sieve, the medium slows the drying down meaning brush strokes have time to even out, if you are painting onto greenware the medium can be helpful as it can help it stick to the clay and make it more durable when handling before bisque firing, but the medium is not essential it is personal preference some people prefer to simply mix the underglaze powder with water and pass through a sieve. All measurements should be made in grams. Hope this helps.
