firing acrylic

Hello All,

Thank you for your many reply's to my frantic request for help when a
student mistakenly painted his pot with acrylic paint instead of
underglaze. I fired the pot and it turns out, he had painted a coat of
underglaze in one color and painted over it in acrylic with a different
color. The acrylic burned off and the original underglaze color was left!
And to think I had a disaster on my hands. Thanks again for sharing your
wisdom with a beginner.
