I have a 15" round steel blue disk fired that matured into silver, which is what I wanted. I now have to put the design on top and fire that. I noticed some devit flakes in the silver and my question is if I use SuperSpray over this silver, will I lose any of the silver color? The silver does not feel smooth like fired glass does and I'm wondering if the silver is from devit. If it is, then using SuperSpray will revert it back to blue, right?
It's sitting in my kiln as I type, awaiting your answers.
Thanks.

Re: Steel Blue and SuperSpray
Steel blue strikes to silver when fired. This is completely normal and isn't devit. If you put SuperSpray on it, it should revert back to blue. If you don't apply it evenly, you may have a mottled blue and silver surface. Been there, done that.SAReed wrote:I have a 15" round steel blue disk fired that matured into silver, which is what I wanted. I now have to put the design on top and fire that.
