Hi Sandy;
I think there would probably be no difference at all except in perhaps the
application. Gloss would probably be easier to remove glaze coating from,
although I have no trouble with Gesso, but matt may be better if you were
trying to get a coating on a glazed pot for reglazing. I just used what I
had on hand as I also paint with acrylics and oils.
By the way, for reglazing, I do put a couple of coatings of gesso on the
pot, and then spray, being sure to hold the sprayer well enough back not to
get wet shining spots, and let it setup abit or near dry before applying
additional coats of glaze. if your patient, you can get several good coats
of glaze on an ugly pot. I use veegum in the new glaze so that it gets a
hard finish, making handling the piece easier when loading. It takes very
little pressure to remove all your patient work while loading, as glaze
slides off pretty easy from a glazed pot. it is always iffy reglazing, but
if you hate the piece anyway, you have nothing to loose. Finding a glaze
that covers the old one and not mixing with the old one in such a way that
it runs off the pot can be another way of testing glaze combinations, or
ruin your shelves. I always put a piece of bisqued slab under a reglazed
piece, just in case. Recover=very few.

No sense of smell, I look like hell. My body drooping, got trouble pooping.
