OK, so my high school ceramics class was a long time ago-- just long enough
ago that I remember certain techniques, but not all the details associated
with them.
Here's my dilemma -- I remembered that you can apply Elmer=92s glue to bisqu=
e
before glazing, and the glaze won't stick there. So that's what I did,
except I didn't immediately wipe off the areas with the glue like I think I
was supposed to. Now the glaze has dried and it sure looks like it will
stay put-- even though I used the glue to resist glaze as part of a
decorative effect.
A few questions-- should I have immediately wiped off the wet glaze in the
areas I applied the glue? If not, what am I missing here? If so, now what
do I do now? Is there anything I can do to "unglaze" the decorative
portions I intended to have no glaze?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

I would use steel wool to rub it off. But I would also do it outside
and wear a mask, the dust is horrible.
And next time ... use latex. =20
