Question Posted By: sonia becker Saturday, December 9 2006 16:32:40 Suggest Answer

I've tried out the Blue Rutile PC20 by applying it thickly to bisque and low firing.The resulting colour is nothing even vaguely resembling the colour chart and there is absolutely no trace of blue at all. Instead I get a dull brown! What am I doing wrong?

    Sonia,


    PC 20 Blue Rutile is a high fire glaze that fires at Cone 4 (2161ºF) to Cone 6 (2269ºF. I believe your trying to fire at a low fire temperature. Also be sure to use either a stoneware or porcelain clay body (high fire). If you have it on a high fire clay just refire to the correct temperature.
