Your restoration of these B&W Greyhound? Pooch's was amazing...I hope your client was pleased? I've just re watched them as you offered so much info that I was overloaded on my first viewing. Today, I completed my first ceramic repair, ahem, "attempted repair", which is not so good... but it's my own so I can just chuck it out. I'm new to this, lot's of room for improvement so thanks again for inspiring me. :-)

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

Hi there, many thanks for your comment, I loved restoring the Staffordshire dogs and my clients was very pleased. Please let me know how you get on with your own or objects. 👍

[@anthonyperry6790]

Very person centred approach. I love your style. Its not like you to demonstrate on Crown Derby which would serve to intimidate. Thank you so much.

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@fishingaddict3604]

As always, I found the video very helpful. Great tips for applying glaze! I used all these techniques for fixing my own antique porcelain :) One thing I found is I can sand it using 400 or higher grit to remove brush marks on the glaze.

Hi Fishing Addict, many thanks for your comment. Glad you are finding the videos useful. 👍

[@mjdavis1388]

Hello. Delighted to find your channel - I am truly inspired by your restorations : ) You are both knowledgable and talented - sincere thanks for sharing. I’m a beginner in the U.S. assembling as many ‘need to haves’ before setting forth on my figurine repairs. Which particular Windsor & Newton glaze is comparable to Rustins (there are so many). W&N Professional Acrylic Medium, Slow Drying? Many thanks again!

VARNISHING PAINTING AND CERAMICS..good job, .. you are very skilled and have the soul of art .. I like it ... I wish you success always ..

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

Many thanks for you comment, it is very kind of you. 😃

[@tlcanuck1]

it would be lovely if you had a list of tools and other materials written (like an ingredients list in a recipe!) at the beginning or end of your tutorials so we can get everything assembled easily before we start. I know you share that verbally but a written list would take this to the next level.

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

Hi Trudy I have taken on board your comment and will start to put on a list of materials in the descriptions. 🥰

[@tlcanuck1]

@@theceramicrepairstudio Thank you! I love your videos - so helpful for an amateur like myself who is trying to 'save' my grandmother's china tea cups! Slowly but surely, with your guidance, they are going back together!!

What do you use to seal a coffee cup that has been repaired with Milliput?

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

I use Rustins ceramic glaze

@@theceramicrepairstudio Does it need to be fired again. Is it safe for food after or will it not actually be safe for food ever again?

Another enjoyable video, everything explained clearly as always.

Many thanks for your comment.👍

Nicely explained Alison...

Hi Paul, many thanks for the comment.

[@stephenrichardson6954]

Can repainted and varnished China dishes be used for serving food again? I appreciate your videos btw. Very easy to follow!

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

It all depends on the paint and varnish you are using. You can usually look up the product information on the manufacturers sheet which would tell you if what you are using is oven and food safe.

[@stephenrichardson6954]

Do you have any suggestions?

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

@@stephenrichardson6954 You could take a look at Winsor and Newton Professional Acrylic paint and Rustins ceramic glaze. There product/description details should be on their website.

[@carlosvieira7293]

Hi Alison what kind of thinner do you use with Rustins to airbrush ? Lacker tinner ?

[@mariateresavalle8454]

Como se llama la pintura, ; esta al rev3s!

[@raoul465]

Interesting video. Which Rustins product do you use with the black paint and which as a varnish? Thanks.

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

Hi Raoul, I use Rustins ceramic glaze.😃

[@heatherrascal]

can you sand the paint down for a cleaner look? i've painted my first milliput piece and the paint job is looking a little rough. or will applying the Rustins over it smooth it out? absolutely obsessed with your videos!

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

I would definitely resand your piece first so you cannot feel any bumps or ridges. Then repaint and final glaze.😃

[@heatherrascal]

@@theceramicrepairstudio oh! I’d forgotten to use the 12000 grit sandpaper! You were absolutely right! Thank you

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

@@heatherrascal Hope it works out better now.😃

[@LoireValleyChateaux]

Why do you hand brush the glaze instead of air-brushing it?

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

Sometimes I use an airbrush, although not everyone has one, so try to cater for every body.

[@zeliabrandt1812]

Hi Ali! Can we use airbrush when varnishing with Rustin glaze?

[@faceyogamaster]

Hi there, I tend to find the varnish too thick which can clog the airbrush. I have diluted it in the past althigh I would recommend trying it out on a piece of paper or old plate.

[@zeliabrandt1812]

@@faceyogamaster Thanks!

[@mariateresavalle8454]

Y que agrega a la pintura?

[@Reiverweb]

@The China Repair Studio I enjoyed your videos on repairing and painting ceramics, can I ask a question regarding glaze, if I was repairing a chip in a cup, after I fill the chip and sand it it becomes the same 'level' as the original glazed surface, if I then paint it and glaze the chip, will it not be evidently raised?

[@Reiverweb]

@The China Repair Studio Hi thanks for the like, have I missed the reply to my question, never used KZbin comments before.

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

@@Reiverweb Hi there, when painting and glazing I tend to blend in so there are no ridges, also try not to make the paint and glaze to thick. It also depends on if you are hand painting or airbrushing, with airbrushing you get a smoother affect. Good luck and please let me know how you get on. 😀

[@Reiverweb]

@@theceramicrepairstudio Great thanks for the advice. 😎

[@HarleyQuinn9369]

Did you mix some of the rustins into the acrylic paint?

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

HI Janelle, yes I add aittle glaze in with the paint. Please let me know how you get on.🥰

[@eN-pl4vk]

Thank you for these lessons, but are you aware that your videos play as a mirror image? All of the product labels appear in reverse.

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

Sorry about that, it was an older video and I hadn't changed my camera setting.

[@eN-pl4vk]

@@theceramicrepairstudio So grateful for all the effort and detail you put into sharing your knowledge, skills and experience with us. I hope to restore some old, well-loved pieces. Best wishes, from across the pond.

How to apply glaze rustin with airbrush

[@faceyogamaster]

I tend to mix the Rustins glaze with a little thinner, otherwise the glaze is too thick and could possibly clog up the airbrush.

[@selin7299]

​@@faceyogamasterWhat type of thinner did you use? I made thinner at home using ethyl alcohol, glycerin and distilled water. I use it to thin my acrylic paints and it works fine, but when mixed with varnish will it reduce the gloss effect of the varnish?
