Lynne: This color and brand name is my favorite underglaze. I’ve used many and this one is vibrant, goes on well and fires nicely!

KarenKaren: I received this item with a broken seal. By the photo you can see how it leaked. Dried areas flaked off when I removed the lid.

Stephanie CorridoriStephanie Corridori: ***UPDATE*** I reached out to Speedball directly and they immediately sent me out a replacement that was perfect right out of the bottle (4th pic). Was it a pain to have to go through that to get a quality product? Yes, but the customer service was stellar and in the end I got what I paid for so it was worth it. I will purchase in the future with confidence knowing that they will make it right should I receive another bad batch.

Original Review:
I’m new to speedball underglazes so I don’t know if this is a reflection of their quality or the quality of the seller who sold this particular bottle but the underglaze I received was almost solidified when I opened it. I’ve been doing ceramics for 15 years so I just figured it needed some reconstituting but no matter how many times I power whisked it, the lumps would not dissipate. It went from the consistency of 2 day old oatmeal to the consistency of watery ricotta cheese. I ended up having to run it through a sieve twice and even that did not get rid of all the little globs. Application was terrible, all of the little lumps got worse with each coat. Sorely disappointed- shouldn’t have to work so hard to try to make...

Cachito Lindo: Usually underglaze is creamy. This came lumpy like THICK pudding. I cannot use it exactly as I hoped since it's not fluid, but it's the color I needed and IF I was to use it for silkscreen application the viscosity (or lack of) would be perfect.

Laura G.: Overall good product. I would advise a bit of vigorous bottle shaking prior to any use as the material can get a bit lumpy. Once shaken it applies well and two thin coats generally does the job. The bottle design has recently changed and I prefer the old design as I pour the underglaze out onto my work surface which was easy to do with the narrow neck of the original bottle design. I do have issue with the recent price jump. A 16 oz container of Speedball Underglaze was $14.49 the beginning of September but had jumped to $20.77 by the beginning of December. I have found a cheaper supplier and have saved over $75 on an order of 12 bottles.
