Hi, will the addition of this flux to stain powder mean that I can create a self glazing underglaze? And how much water do I add if any?
Thanks

No this will only make a stain into an underglaze, it will not be self glazing. Underglazes are usually brushed on therefore I would recommend mixing your underglaze powder with RM1074 Underglaze medium approximately 2 parts medium to 1 part underglaze powder, hope this helps.

Hello! Do I need a sieve for this mixture? Also, can I add different volumes of water to get different hues like with watercolours?
Thanks!

Yes I would advise using a sieve the help make the mixture all the same consistency, yes you can alter the amount to suit your needs, I would however recommend testing first to see if you are happy with the results. Hope this helps.

For 25% would that be one part flux to three parts stain; or one part flux to four parts stain? Thank you.

One part flux to 3 parts stain so 25grams of flux and 75grams of stain will work well you can add slightly more or less if you wish.

Must you use underglaze medium and water for a brush on underglaze. Or, can you use one or the other?

For brush on you would need to use underglaze medium, no water.

To use underglaze flux add between 25-33% to make a powdered stain into an underglaze powder. Then mix 1 part underglaze medium to 1 part underglaze powder to create a brushable underglaze colour.

If I make up the underglaze per your instructions can it be applied to both leather hard clay and biscuit ware. Also does it still need to be dipped in a clear glossy or matt glaze before final firing.

Yes the underglaze may be applied to greenware or bisqueware. You do not have to glaze however a transparent glaze will create a more intense colour while also providing a more functional, practical ceramic surface.
