Sarah,
I have used the Amaco Velvet Underglazes on both lowfire and midfire pieces.
I
have used them under clear gloss glazes and under clear opalescent glazes, and
both have come out looking great. I apply them to both bisqued pieces and
also
to leather hard or drier pieces. Whan I bisque fire, I go to cone 04 for low
fire. The mid fire is bisqued to cone 06. The colors seem to come out
brighter when I apply the glazes over them. I haven't had any problems with
cloudiness at all.

Does anyone have experience patching or
otherwise repairing velvets tht have
flaked or discolored fired to cone 6
with no glaze applied?
