Question Posted By: Julie Thursday, November 9 2006 08:44:23 Suggest Answer

Your liquid gloss (LG-10) label says to apply 3 brush coats. After I let the first coat dry I tried to apply a second, but it just takes the first coat off. What am I doing wrong? The piece was fired to cone 04 before I applied the first coat.
Thanks.

    ing, Julie. Either your application is to heavy or the first coat has not dried enough. Make sure that you mix the glaze thoroughly to a cream consistency. Apply one thin coat and allow to dry (10-15 minutes)and then apply your second application. It really isn't necessary to apply the third coat. Fire to witness Cone 05 (1915-25ºF). The firing should be at a med. speed. Also make sure that your bisque was fired to Cone 04 (1975ºF) at a slow speed.
