Can you use more than one type of glaze on each clay pot?
Yes you can.
How do you get the excess glaze off of the bottom of your already fired pot?
the best way to get off a small bit of glaze off the base of a pot (like small bits from a kiln shelf) is to use a carborundum/sharpening stone and slowly grind it down
Can more than one type of glaze be used on each clay pot?
Yes, as long as the glazes are meant to be fired to the same cone. Putting a cone 6 and a cone 10 glaze on the same pot would not be a good idea. But putting two, three, four, etc. glazes of the same cone on one pot is perfectly fine. Just understand that glazes may be stable by themselves, but when another glaze is added on top that may create instabilities such as crazing or running. The biggest problem I have had with combining glazes on one pot is running. Just make sure to put the pot on stilts or on a waste slab so you don't have to grind glaze off the kiln shelf.
Why do you glaze a pot?
this is for dry glazeChoose a container that is two times larger than the total amount of finished glaze. Select a 1- to 5-gallon container. If you're making 1/2 gallon of glaze, use a 1-gallon container. This allows enough room to coat the pottery.2Adhere masking tape 1/4 to 1/2 inches from the bottom of the pottery. Placing the tape around the base of the piece helps later on during the firing process.3Pay attention to the cone number. There are a variety of kilns for firing pottery. Each uses the cone number as an indicator for the kiln type. Unless experimenting, use the specific type recommended.4Create a caramel dry glaze (cone 10) by combining 50 grams of pumice stone and 50 grams of rottenstone. For a satin green dry glaze (cone 10) replace the rottenstone with 14 seltzer tablets and 10 grams of talcum powder to the 50 grams of ground pumice. Grind the solid materials into a powder form5Measure dry ingredients one at a time. Pour them into the mixing container. To produce the best results, weigh all chemicals accurately.6Secure the sealable lid on the bucket. Place the container on its side and gently roll it on the floor for 1 to 2 minutes. Allow the dust to settle for at least 1 minute. Remove the lid after the dust has settled.7Apply the glaze to the pottery by dipping the piece into the dry glaze.
Can you re glaze all kinds of porcelain?
Depends on exactly what you mean ---- of course you cannot really remove the fired glaze and then apply another one but it is often possible to paint ceramic colours onto a fired item and then re-fire it. If its very old then there may be a problem with cracking of the pot or crazing of the glaze. In the end you just have to try it and hope for the best!
What is undergaze made out of?
I think you mean the word 'underglaze' which is whatever is under the glaze on a pot. So you can speak of 'underglaze colours' or 'underglaze painting' and so on. Because glaze is the final coating on a pot, just about everything else is 'underglaze' work. There is also 'On-glaze' painting, which what it says ---I bet you guessed that one o.k. !

Why is a pot blue?
Probably the most common reason for blue in a ceramic pot is the inclusion of cobalt either as an oxide or carbonate in the glaze or clay itself.
What will happen if you add hot water to a earthen pot?
It depends on whether or not the pot has been covered in glaze, or whether the pot has been fired. If neither has been applied, or if the pot has not been fired, the water make cause the pot to fall apart.

How do you put window putty or glaze on a metal window frame?
First lightly sand the desired area, this is so the glaze has something to hold on to. Then apply glaze using a putty knife. I put flaxseed oil on my putty knife when I glaze so when I press the glaze down it slides off the knife easier.
How many coats of glaze do you need?
The answer to your question depends on what you want your final product to be. If you intend on having a gold or silver glaze on your ceramics, you have to go through several steps. First, the ceramic piece has to reach the correct initial temperature to ensure the clay has set into the correct density to accept the first coating of glaze. After fired, you will then be able to paint on the next coat, whether it be another coat of glaze or your silver or gold glaze. You can have several layers of glaze on an item, but there could be chemical interactions depending on colors and composition of your item.
