ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
M. W. — A punch bowl may be placed in any way in a kiln. If it is placed 
on the bottom of the kiln it would be best to put it on a stilt or something that, 
would prevent the base from heating too quickly. The best way is to stanfl 
it on edge against the side of the kiln. The base can be raised up by putting 
some square pieces of fire clay, which are used in the pottery kilns, under il, 
placing it almost perpendicularly and thus saving a good deal of room. 
One who has been greatly helped by the Sludio. — The cause for Mother 
of Pearl Lustre turning to a powder in the firing is that it has been applied 
too heav3r. 
A. W. — You will find full directions for dry dusting in the "Lesson for 
Beginners" by J. M. Bard, in the April, 1912, Keramic Studio. There is no 
stated length of time for the oil to dry, sometimes the oil is applied heavier 
than at other times and requires more time for drying and the condition of the 
weather also affects the drying. It is best to use the dauber en a large surface, 
it is almost impossible to get it even without. 
J. J. H. — -Yes, you can fire glass in a china kiln but it requires a vei-y 
much lighter fire, not much longer after you begin to see color, you cannot 
stack the glass on top of each other. A special gold is prepared for it. 
S. L. G. — -Dresden designs were used on china a number of years ago. 
The flowers are treated in a flat semi-conventional manner and usually arc 
very small and in garlands. The figures are colonial. You will probably 
find illustrations of the work in an encylopedia. It will be all right to decorate 
the traj' in pink and blue. 
W. W. N. — ^The following is a formula for grounding oil, three parts boiled 
linseed oil, six parts essence of turpentine, four parts asphaltum. Boil a 
half hour stirring constantly wth a stick upon the end of which is fastened a 
bag of litharge. It should be the consistency of .syrup. Care should be taken 
so the flame does not reach it and catch fire. Cork it up tightly anil set aside 
for use. 
F. D. W. — Sugar and water can be used for the outlining color, or the 
medium, which ever you prefer. Silver is quite satisfactory on china antl is 
used a great deal. A very satisfactory kind is that which is put up in small 
boxes the same as the gold, in some makes it is called white gold. 
H. E. A. — It would be best to take the lustre off if it can be done without 
interfering with the rest of the design. Lustre comes off very easily with the 
use of eraser for chma. The platinum pins should not affect the china as it 
takes a much greater heat than you can give the china, to affect them.
