How much does this make up to please, as a brush on glaze.?

Simply mix 700mls of brush-on medium to 1000grams of powdered glaze to create 1litre of brush on glaze.

Does mixing the glaze brush on medium with the nano powdered stains or indeed mason stains produce an underglaze like paint? Can this mix be painted onto bisqueware? Thanks
|
Scarva Replies:

Firstly you will have to make the stain into an underglaze by adding an underglaze flux, then it is ready to add medium to.

You mention that this medium can also be used to mix underglazes, does this mean that any underglaze design painted onto bisque, would come out glossy without a need for further coverage?
|
Scarva Replies:
|
No this medium only suspends the underglaze powder and provides good coverage when applying to bisque. It makes the powder into a brushable underglaze. It is not a glaze.

Can I use this medium to make a smooth clay slip to brush on?
I have made white slip from my dry clay trimmings mixed with water what ratio should I use to make the slip smooth?
|
Scarva Replies:
|
You should not need to use anything, you could just pass the clay slip through a wide mesh sieve to remove any lumps but this will be enough to make it smooth.

How much of the medium should I add to 1ltr of liquid glaze? Does it affect the thickness of the glaze so that I have to readjust the density?
|
Scarva Replies:
|
Use around 700mls of medium to 1kg of powder glaze then pass through a fine mesh sieve.

I have some liquid transparent dipping glaze, can I add some glaze medium to it to allow me to use it as a brush on glaze?
Thanks
|
Scarva Replies:

It is not ideal to be honest because it would still be to thin to brush, usually you would just add the medium to powdered glaze to create a brush on glaze.

Do you still need to sieve the resulting glaze once you have added the medium to glaze powder? And if so, how many times and which grade sieve(s)? Thanks so much!
|
Scarva Replies:
|
Yes please sieve the glaze once added with the powder. A 100 mesh is ideal.

I halved the ratios (350ml medium to 500g powder) to do a test run but it’s incredibly thick - like treacle. What consistency should it be? Thanks
|
Scarva Replies:
|
You can add more medium if you wish or thin with a little water. Ideally the consistency should be of thin yogurt.

is there a significant difference between this (RM1072) & RM1074? Could they perhaps be interchangeable?
Thank you

Scarva Replies:

They are very similar so yes can be interchangeable.

Hello, can I add this medium to cobalt oxide powder in order to be able to draw patterns on stoneware and have this nice blue when fired?

If I have a glaze ratio of 800ml-1000gms should I still follow your medium ratio of 700ml-1000gms? Or somewhere in between :)
|
Scarva Replies:
|
I would recommend starting with 700mls and add more in needed, it is easier to add to a glaze than takeaway.

If I add a stain powder to this, will the glaze be matte or glossy?
|
Scarva Replies:
|
This is not a glaze this product is added to powdered glaze to create a brushable glaze. You would be best adding stain to a glaze like our GZ2150 Glossy transparent.

I have glazes that have become too thick over time, can I use glaze medium to make them runnier? If so do I do it by eye or do I need to be more scientific?

Hi there, yes, absolutely - you can just do it by eye!

What does a 50/50 mixture of this medium do to the firing and soak times of the other powder glaze? Does it act as a flux?
|
Scarva Replies:
|
Mix brush-on medium into powdered glazes to produce brush on glazes.
This special formulation works with any glaze slowing the drying time in order to produce an even coating. Can also be used to produce brush-on underglazes.
It will not affect firing temperatures as it will burn away. There are no materials in it which affect temperature of glazes.
