Question Posted By: Mike Tuesday, August 22 2006 22:45:18 Suggest Answer

I remember in class (i think i remeber that is) that we used underglaze on all sides of greenware without reguard to it sticking to the shelf upon firing.

I have several of the Velvet underglaze products that i was going to fire, and the folks at the studio say it will stick.

Will the underglaze stick, or not?

thanks

    Mike,

    Underglazes will not stick to the shelves unless you have a clear glaze covering them.
    This is firing them at Cone 03 thru Cone 05.

    If you plan on taking them to Cone 5 they may start to gloss so you may want to stilt the pieces.
