ParticipantI’ve been slumping wine bottles for a while. I first coat the bottle with Super Spray to avoid devitrification. Sometimes a bottle comes out of the kiln with streaks. I melt the bottle at 1425 degrees. It’s happening more and more and I can’t find a solution. Thanks for any help!

ParticipantHow are you applying the Super Spray? I don’t have a problem when I spray it on and not brush on.

ParticipantI use a sponge type brush. I have used a regular paint brush but it was worse. What do you use to spray it on? Do you get a thick or thin layer when you spray?

ParticipantI have the badger air brush system which you can get at Michaels or a craft store. You can adjust the thickness of the spray but a thin coat is all you need. There are other sprayers out there that can be used.

ParticipantThanks for your help. I’ll try it today. I had also read that temp. was a factor.

ParticipantWith Super Spray you just have to go above 1300 and not above 1700.

ParticipantGiven the cost of these over glazes, you might think of using borax instead. I have given some information on my blog.
