Re: Airbrushing Problems with Bullseye Color Line

Yes, I saw you post that some time ago, after they came out. I helped do some testing of them for BE and found the red cracked and burned regardless of how careful I was with it. Thin, thick, it didn't matter. I have to say though, I liked the burned color :) (but that's probably just me) and the re...

Re: Airbrushing Problems with Bullseye Color Line

Valerie, The warnings are in the lab notes toward the bottom of the PDF. I copied and pasted them here for you: The red in vitreous products is known for its special character. It has always been difficult to make a consistent red glass, those who mastered it tended to keep it secret. Color Line off...

Re: paints face down on shelf

Flip and fire them with the thin layer of clear powder (as mentioned above) on the face up side, and place them on a sheet of thinfire paper tacked down at the edges (away from the pieces) so the already fired Glassline wing lines won't stick to your shelf and [will probably] come out a bit shiny.

Re: BE 1101 clear powder problem

Wow, I didn't realize you didn't like that technique Cynthia. I use it all the time to cap my drawings. You are right though, I use it just as a thin even dusting.

Re: Cause of blotches?

The marks look to me like they are from the cold working. You said you are doing it by hand right?
In my experience it just takes a lot of hand work to get past the point of the marks being left.
