    Default anti-flux

    Or is this called something different here?

    Or if anyone has a nice easy recipe for making their own, I'd be delighted if they'd share it

    Tippex
    Yellow ochre (powder or watercolour works)
    Graphite
    Ball clay
    ...

    There's a few others but those are what spring to mind.

    Tippex is what I use on mokume plates to stop the plates and the metal fusing. Being mostly titanium dioxide, it's very effective - but can be a pig to clean off.

    Shall do. I've got a stack sat waiting to go at the moment - need to clean it properly (again...) and bung it in the kiln.
