Don t plan on using luster pieces in a microwave as this is like putting metal in a microwave Handwash these pieces as well In this video I show two different brands of lusters There are more but these are the two I know about Hanovia and Sara Lusters I have recently discovered Laguna has lusters too Here is an Amazon link for Duncan Gold Overglaze Duncan Overglaze GoldHere is a link to a Mother of Pearl Luster not as metallic Duncan Overglaze Mother of PearlI use a small dedicated brush to apply the luster glaze and I clean up with mineral spirits If I had rubber gloves I would have worn them in this video alas I had none the day I shot The overglaze was fired to cone 019 and took under 3 hours to fire I started my Youtube channel a few years ago to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently Please subscribe to my channel if you would like to receive channel updates or would like to learn more about clay and studio processes
