clear glaze (ron roy's)

I use this base for at least 5 of the basic studio glazes in our city
studio. I make a pale green with about a 1/2 copper, a blue with
cobalt, I add zircopax for a white, and a couple of others.

i was wondering if anyone had tried the "Clear Glossy Liner Glaze" in Ron's
book (Mastering Cone 6 Glazes). what i need is a clear, gloss glaze at ^6, so
it looks perfect. but it's the "liner" part of the glaze name that makes me
wonder: is this glaze suitable as a clear glaze for an entire piece (not just
as an inside liner), such as over oxide/slip designs on a white clay body?

thanks.

Eric, if a glaze is suitable as a liner, it is suitable for ANYthing.
Why don't you just try it, and see what you think?
By the way: "perfect" clear glazes depend upon "perfect"
application. So glaze with care, and your pieces should be fine.

I use it all the time. I did entire pots in it as I do a lot of "leaf ware"
that uses leaves as the resist with slip over top; then bisqued and clear
glazed with glossy liner #1.

I add .25% (that's point 25 percent) macaloid in the water prior to adding
other ingredients. (Hint - put in frit last).

'Liner' doesn't mean that it meets a lower standard than
an 'outside-the-pot' glaze; rather, it meets a higher
one. It should still be just as nice on the outside.
It will merely be more stable and durable than strictly
necessary...seldom a bad thing! ;)

Hi, Eric,

I have read several responses to your question before getting to your
question.

Ron and John's "Clear Glossy Liner" has some other uses as well. You can
add coloring oxides--some use prepared stains--to develop under- or
overglaze colors. You can mute the effect with a small amount of zircopax
to the base glaze.

It is a glaze that, with or without opacifier, takes well to coloring
oxides. I like a bit of rutile to give some movement.

It's a really good glaze to play with.

Hi Eric,
What you are wondering about is exactly how I use
R&J's Clear Liner.
I do scraffito through a cobalt slip or various mason
stains in slip on a white body, then after bisque
cover the pot with R&J's Clear Liner. Formerly I used
a glaze called 4-10 Clear and liked it, but the Clear
Liner gives a much nicer look.
Have fun,
Jeanne W.
