Spray Glaze on Ceramics - This cheap tool was pretty cool!

[@hobbypotter]

I DID WEAR A MASK...ALWAYS WEAR A MASK, (not mentioned in demo), Im alternating between wearing a mask and removing it to speak. NOT THE SAFEST WAY I ADMIT, but needed to let you know! If you all have any suggestions, ideas or insights I'd be happy to hear!!!! Thanks so much for watching :D

[@kitija1939]

Very sweet! Thanks for sharing.

[@suzannemccaslin8420]

I'm definitely trying this!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@lorraineharrison8231]

I’ve used the preval sprayer with some success with glazes too. I found the sprayers at O’Reily’s auto parts store.

[@hobbypotter]

Thanks! I was going to try them with my glazes as well and had no idea they were so close!! I'm like 3 minutes away from am O'REILLY'S Lol😆

[@lorraineharrison8231]

I did have to sieve the glazes quite well and remove that filter.

[@susanvalleauderby2934]

Such perfect timing for me! I have invested in an airbrush and compressor but they don't work well, and this system looks so much more effective and inexpensive! The fact that spraying over templates is possible with terrific results is really really exciting. Thanks so much!

[@hobbypotter]

I'm so glad you found it useful Susan! I'd love to know how it goes for you! D I'm getting more, there are so many things I still want to test with them....like creating the ombre effect :D

[@BrokenArrowPottery]

Thanks for the demonstration! That looks like fun!

[@hobbypotter]

Thank you so much for watching!!!

[@ChadAdelhardt]

Great video to show some things that can be done with an airbrush. You should really use a resperator if your going to do that very much. There are also fairly inexpencive airbrush out there that wount leave you with so much stuff to throw in the trash.

[@katiakatiakat]

Love you enthusiasm 😊

[@elizabeth8720ify]

Thanks for sharing this! It is very helpful!

[@hobbypotter]

Thank you! I hope it helps you and you find creative ways to use it for your artful pottery :D

[@betsy5552]

Thank you this is fantastic. Just ordered some myself

[@hobbypotter]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@betsy5552]

@@hobbypotter looks great I found 6 packs of smaller containers so I don’t have to mix as much. I figure with a 45 degree angle this will help. I totally love the new velvet spray on but they are out of my price range, this is perfect and I can use other underglazes as well. Can’t wait

[@dragonboatphoenix6375]

Awesome thank you I loved your video and the tips!!

[@linneakokinos9940]

Awesome, love it🤗

[@vikibobula8930]

Yes, it is a great idea to spray! Will You show the final result of this project after firing, too? Looking forward to see! And very Best wishes from FRA!

[@hobbypotter]

Yes! I should be done with it by next week as a matter of fact (gotta fill the the kiln ;D )

[@mbf211]

Looks like it works really well! I'd like some clarification though: does it deliver 16 oz of fluid and then it's done and you need to toss it and get a new one? Or can it be recharged somehow?

[@hobbypotter]

Great question! The special compressed air cartridges are replaceable and the glass jars are reusable. I think the 16 oz delivery is referring to the cartridge but haven't used that much yet 😜.

[@kevinleong4467]

Instead of using so much water I would suggest adding Darvan 7 or another defloculant to achieve what you were after. And you don't need to wait as long for it to dry.

[@hobbypotter]

Great idea!!! Thank you so much, I'll give it a go next time! (Would sodium silicate do the same thing? )

[@JennaDanelle]

So very cool! Thanks for sharing! Where did you get those stencils?

[@hobbypotter]

The stencils! I actually got them off of the Wish app a while ago. Not that I'm recommending it though....it's a hit or miss on quality and takes months for things to arrive. 😉

[@JennaDanelle]

@@hobbypotter ty, that’s cool, yes I have tried them out before it is hit or miss for sure.

[@sakaporuwa]

superb...

[@ArvinAbadilla]

Was this piece bisque fired prior to spraying?

[@hobbypotter]

Yes is was bisque fired, but it could have also been done on leatherhard clay since I was spraying underglaze :D

[@ArvinAbadilla]

@@hobbypotter thank you! If you put on a clear glossy/matte over glaze that had a hotter cone rating than the underglaze, would you just fire at the higher temp of the overglaze?

[@hobbypotter]

@@ArvinAbadilla Underglaze is (basically) stains and clay so they can be fired to cone 5 and beyond. .BUT... You will want to test it to be sure it works with your glazes. Some underglaze colors burn out at higher temperatures, or change . The colors are not always as vibrant as they would be at a lower firing temperature. You will also want to be sure that the underglaze works well with your transparent glaze. Make test tiles to see what you like and how well they work for you at your desired temperature :D

[@ArvinAbadilla]

@@hobbypotter thank you!

[@hobbypotter]

@@ArvinAbadilla Yes, Test your colors by applying underglazes to bisque, let them dry completely and covering them with a clear glaze to start. Then fire them to the desired temp. Since underglaze has a large firing range cone 06 to cone 10. Just remember, the hotter you get the more chance you have for a color to burn out or change ... especially your purples and pinks. Differnt brands of underglaze also react differently ... that's why you'll want to do tests ;D

[@rosannehillock3718]

Great video. Do you have any idea of what the ratio of underglaze to water is?

[@hobbypotter]

Thanks! I don't have an exact ratio....I would say a milk consistency, not a thick cream. If you see the consistency I poured it into the sieve, that was a little too thick for the sprayer, so I added about .5 ounce-ish??

[@jotyler2483]

Thanks, Tammy Jo. Looks like a little dreamboat I certainly want to get! Will check out if it's available in SA. Otherwise Amazon ... Any suggestions for a bigger sprayer? I'm thinking about for the larger planters etc that I make. Also love it that it works so well with templates!

[@hobbypotter]

I sure hope you can find them in SA! They are pretty cool and a tool I want to explore more! 💚💜💙

[@yulabz]

Thank you so much for this tutorial- such a great idea. Are you gonna try it with glazes as well? Also- where do you get your newspaper roll?

[@hobbypotter]

Glad this was helpful! 😁 The paper is called newsprint and was able to buy 500 sheets in Amazon. You can also get pads of this paper at Michaels or Hobby Lobby craft store s😁

[@claymazingartworks5682]

You're driving me crazy 😜 lol...❤❗It❗

[@hobbypotter]

Lol! That's funny... for some reason my family says that a lot 🤣 💚💜💙

[@shelleydoxtdator753]

Do they come with the jars? They fit perfectly

[@hobbypotter]

Yes! The jars come with it (they also sell them seperately so I bought a few more ;D )

[@edstud1]

Where do you get the stencils?

[@hobbypotter]

I recently got some stencils from Temu, but most of them were collected over time through yard sales and craft sales!

Name of Sprayer, please

[@largilierededominique810]

it's like an airbrush but easyer - thanks a lot

[@hobbypotter]

Yes! An airbrush takes a lot of equipment, but this was just really fast and easy! Am airbrush had more options I imagine, but this will be just fine for me! 💙💜💚😁

[@largilierededominique810]

@@hobbypotter for me, in France, preval is 21 euros and cordless airbrush is 50 euros ---- so ..... your video make me crazy

[@naturelove9894]

Filter your paint first. Happens with regular paint and sprayers all the time.

[@micheleriddel9049]

Love your review, but spare your precious lungs. Use spray booth or do it outside AND a n95 mask.

[@DominiqueMajor-nb9xd]

not too good for the environment

[@kevinjamiesonbelou]

so, you strained the underglaze and used a rib to push it through, and then dripped the unstrained glaze off of the rib and into the strained glaze...gotcha.

[@hobbypotter]

Lol... yes... and no😁 Because whatever was to big did not go through the mesh (it was sitting in top.) I didn't necessarily push particles too through... they were still on top of the mesh surface. The underglaze was thicker than water, so it collected on the underside, but strained. 😉
