Is latex the only substance to use to mask out a design which can then be
removed? I tried and didn't feel I had much control over the lines I was
making. I want to be able to mask a pattern, dunk in glaze, remove the
mask and fill in the pattern with another glaze.

I've tried cutting tape and find that to be a pain if you don't want
straight lines but curly cues and zig zag instead. I'd like something
faster, something I can squeeze on from a slip trailer.

What do other people do?

Hi Cheryl,
I have never tried this but I'm going to try it, put wax resist, maybe using
one of these pens, then bisqu fire again for it to burn off then do the other
colors.
I normally do that when I paint with stains on my white glaze base then seal
them with a clear layer of glaze after I bisque them. I found out that for me
the colors run under the clear or become less difined because the water in
the glaze reconstitute them.
I hope that helps some.

Lately I've been using scotch tape. It comes in a variety of widths and the
narrower one can make a slight curvature with minimal gapping.
