Adjust it with water. With 10% zircopax, maybe the slip is too thin.

Hey Centa,
=3D20
Have you ever used Amaco underglazes? They are amazingly forgiving. Very=3D
=3D20
opaque. (with two coats)
=3D20
In my early years I was a wheel thrower/handbuilder and decorated my work=
=3D
=3D20
with slip in the leatherhard phase. I've been a slip caster for many years=
=3D
=3D20
now and decorate my work in the greenware phase instead.=3D20
(A leatherhard slip cast pot is way too fragile to decorate.)
=3D20
The potters I know who want very vivid colors, and apply slip on bisque,=
=3D
=3D20
tell me they have to fire between coats. I'm not in that market range so=
=3D
I=3D20
find it best to apply color on greenware and then leave the bisque phase=
=3D
for=3D20
glazes/glazing.
=3D20
good luck
