Kurt, so far my best luck (reglazing glossy glazes) has come with adding
wallpaper paste or elmer's glue to the glaze. I've had a hard time getting
good adhesion with the warming method, even with cmc gum added. Haven't
tried starch though, and that might function a lot like wallpaper paste,
but smoother. Think I'll give starch a try.
Good luck with the rescue operation,
Liisa

I did reglazing of some glaze fired pots years ago. At that time the
technique I used was to spray a warmed glaze fired pot. Also, I would have
added some liquid starch to the glaze batch to help it adhere to the glazed
surface.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
I often take the hammer to pots that strongly disappoint me. On the other
hand, two disappointing pots from my recent firing I now realize were too
thinly glazed. I spent quite a few hours decorating them and hope that I
can somehow salvage them by refiring. They are not small - 9" in diameter
and 22" tall.
Hoping for ideas,
Kurt

Kurt, it is easy to get the glaze to adhere if you add some
wallpaper paste to the glaze. It takes a very, very small
amount of the paste to help the glaze adhere - you might
want to experiment with amounts. I found that about a teaspoon
of the dry wallpaper paste to a quart of liquid glaze was
about right - but test it. Then the glaze can be applied with
a brush. If sprayed, I'd carefully clean my sprayer afterwards,
because the paste causes the glaze to set up hard. Throw out
any leftover glaze, same reason.

You can add Gum Arabic - watercolor medium - to glazes to help them adhere
to the ones underneath. And the pot doesn't have to be warm. If you let it
dry, you can do more than one coat.

Dear One Eyed Jack- Salt the beggers! They'll probably be lovely. Take them
to Hay Creek and pour the salt to them.

a method that sometimes works is to put a thin layer - and that probably is=20
all you are going to be able to get over a very glossy surface - of another=20
glaze over the surface and then put it in your next bisque firing. depending=
on=20
the glazes in question, you may get a rough surface on which it will be easi=
er=20
to get a thicker coat of the reglaze to adhere. not all glazes are suitable=
=20
for the reglazing process, i.e., they won't adhere at all over the glossy=20
suface, so you may have to do some experimenting.
