I am trying a new glaze trick. New for me, old hat to others. I am glazing =
in iron red and than using a bulb syringe to make dots of Reeves green. A f=
ew of the dots popped off. Is there something I can add to the Reeves to ma=
ke it stick better. Gum arabic or such and if so how much to add to a 1000g=
batch. Thanks again for any and all help. I apologize to any who were offe=
nded by my remarks regarding the taxes thread. I suffer that "hey look a ch=
icken" syndrome also known as ADHD. Perhaps I hadn' read the posts clearly =
and jumped to a conclusion that was not warranted. Perhaps I am worn out fr=
om all the retoric that I put up with on a daily basis from coworkers. Anyh=
oo, sorry and good posts to all. Loren

Reeve's dries hard. You can try dotting before the bottom glaze is
really hard. Or, do the dots first and then carefully resist the
green. You can put a very light coat of the iron red beneath the
dot so you don't leave bare clay body.
Glaze trailing, resist and windows is something I will so
my class at the end of the session (when wet work and trimming are
finished.) It is something I assisted with during my apprenticeship.

Loren, If you use the method I mentioned, putting
a thin coat of the black glaze down, in a bigger circle than the green
dot, you don't have to be a surgeon. That gives you a little safety
line around the dot before you wax it. And when you wax it, you
don't have to go right to the edge.

's funny, I've found dots fall off more easily than
lines. Go figure. That said, try these.
Don't put dots on very dry glaze.
or
9gm CMC gum to 120ml hot (not boiling) water, disperse
gum, add 480ml cold water, allow gum to dissolve.
Add 10ml, (or more), of gum mix to 100ml of glaze.
Go dotty :)

Hi there Loren:
I know Des mentioned mixing CMC gum into your accent glaze, but since no=3D=
20=3D
one else has mentioned this other way, I=3D92ll toss it out. I frequently =

trail and/or=3D20
brush (lines or dots) of accent glazes over other glazes and sometimes th=

e top=3D20
glaze would pop off =3D96 often in the kiln, onto the shelf or other pots. =
=3D
What=3D20
solved the problem for me was spraying a coat of CMC gum solution on the=3D=

glazed pot. I also do this for multiple dips or post-glazing handling, a=

s it makes=3D20
the raw glaze surface more stable (less powdery). If you spray the gum=3D2=

solution right before trailing/brushing, it also serves to re-wet the bot=

tom=3D20
glaze and prevents the new application from popping off.=3D20
