Cindy the answer is yes. I have done this with AMACO velvets. Changed the
color with stains, or stained their white underglaze. I have also used the
underglaze, particularly their red, to color glazes. No particular
quantity, just by the spoonful to see what would happen. Works well.

Cindi,
Adding stains to commercial underglazes will work if your underglazes have a
chemical composition that is compatible with the stain you're using. If you
can't get an idea of the components of your commercial underglaze, you can
always just give it a shot and see what you get. Record what you do, so you
don't have to repeat it.

Commercial underglazes are made with stains. You can readily modify these
with your own. Adding refractory stains such as the Cr-Co, Zr-V, Zr-Pr and
Mn-Al containing ones may require that you add some frit to counter the
possibility of crawling of any later glaze coating.
