i blasted a pattern into irid. i'm going to fire the glass irid side up, and would like to coat the top to prevent devit. i know i can use spray-a, but would like to have a lead free surface. i've used borax, but not over irid. does it work out ok, or does it make irid be blotchy?
anyone have experience using borax over b.e. irid?
thanks

Borax over Irid
I coated a piece of Green Irid last night before slumping at 1300. No body was there to tell me not to. Turned out nice and shiney, especially the edge.
