Several glaze companies make a slightly deminsional overglaze to fire =
circa ^06. Unfortunately they come in sealed little bottles and a very =
limited range of colors. I'd like to have my own colors plus the raised =
look that could be used over a majolica glaze either in the glost fire =
or in a third firing. Anybody have any suggestions?

Spectrum sells theirs in pints as well as the 2oz squeeze bottles.
Perhaps that would be large enough? Of course you could also find a
white dimensional that you like, buy it in bulk and add your own colorants.

Dear Lucero,
What is the surface texture of this commercial overglaze material when
it is fired.
Is it glossy, silky, mat.
How wide is the firing range. Does "Circa ^06 mean ^07-^05 or is it
wider than that?
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
