Borax and firepolish after haze/devit?

Post by chrisk »

This is the first time I have ever had haze/devit (re my post on haze & fire schedule). BE 1114 has a goodly amount the black haze almost makes it looks like it has bronze hue.

Will making up the borax mix or buying the superspray and firepolishing take care of the devit?

Black haze does not sound to me like devit

I meant to say the haze on the black glass gives the black the appearance that it has a light coating of bronze on the top.

I'm confused. 1114 is deep royal blue.

Stephen>> Some of the pieces were composed of black and deep royal blue. One piece all 1114 blue. A third piece was 1114 and 4223 on this one only the 1114 had the hazy splotches. I clean carefully and keep my fingers off. I hope this makes more sense
