Hi there,
I have a piece of porcelain work, which I love very much, but which I
painted awfully.
Now I am thinking, if there is a possibility to erase the over glaze
paint,
by maybe re-firing it?
I used palladium lustre on top of white zinc containing glaze. Did
anyone try to get
rid off their, already burned in, lustre? Is there going to be any paint
remaining that are even
worse than the original awful-paint?
Usually I would try it on a test piece, but I don't have any of those
materials anymore.
Thanks for all your help
Katharina

If you go to a ceramics shop, they probably sell a "luster" eraser.
They are sticks that will remove fired luster.
You aren't the first person to have this problem. There is actually a
product fror what you need.

There is also a product that is sold to remove gold luster which may
work on palladium. I forget the name, but it is a liquid acid, and it
etches away the gold. (Try a hobby ceramic shop where they do china and
gold painting.) It is also used to etch glass, so if you buy a glass
etcher, it should work. I have found that if I'm not REALLY careful it
leaves a mark that requires refiring to remove (a dull spot, like the
very top of the glaze was eroded). Paint it on and wipe it away
immediately with a damp cloth. I only use it for small areas (messy
lines and purple marks) as it's difficult to control over wide areas.
It has saved my behind on a few occasions!
The problem with "luster erasers" is that they can really scuff the
surface unless your glaze is really tough.
