Beautiful work, Jim - thanks to both for your reply (more)

I'm a novice at this - but I haven't had any trouble with the Reusche paints once I figured out my own formula for ratio of paint / gum arabic / vinegar. I think that I'm going to experiment with some of the matte pieces by refiring after using the clear coat overglaze by Fuse Master. Maybe it will ...

Things have gone pretty well, but I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer... When I fire the plaques, some of the painting on them has a matte appearan...
