underglaze over glaze

Marcia, I wonder if you could add a bit of frit to the underglaze?
Would that make the difference so that it would melt into the glaze?
It would take some experimenting of course...

We use some of the Amaco velvets over glaze. Not to thick and on a glaze
that does not move too much. A lot will depend on the glaze you put it =
over.
We have out best luck on a stiffer glaze that has an opacifier in it. I =
like
MC6 glossy base 1 with 6 percent zircopax in it. You will have to test =
to
see what will work for you.

Be careful if it is on the inside of a food item,

Judy;

You can use underglaze on top of a glaze providing you spray a thin coat of
the original glaze over the painting. I believe this is called
sandwiching. There will be some movement. The amount will depend upon the
viscosity of the melted glass.
Do a test to be sure.

Dear Judy Smith,

You can use Duncan's EZ Stroke underglaze over unfired glaze. Whether it
will move or not depends on the properties of the glaze that you use, bit it
doesn't peel. It will blur on a gloss glaze that runs, but will not blur on
a glaze that doesn't run, like a matt. If the glaze is colored, it might
change the color of the underglaze since it is somewhat transparent. You
would need to test your eggshell glaze with the EZ Stoke on top.
