I have recently had some problems with my colors breaking up and
becoming sort of speckeled. I'm not talking about pin holing but a
smaller more washed out effect. The only thing I have been doing
diferent is using a higher ratio of gerstley borate (3 g.b. to part
colorent) in combination with the masion stains. Is this the problem?
I use a few of GDC pre made majolica colors and have a very solid
surface. Also, I an curious about the differenceof using other fluxes,
like frits, instead of gerstley borate as my flux when ecorationg. Do
they paint on diferently, or have different fired effects?
Thanks, Erin
