Applying to bone dry would be easiest, since it's porous. Leather hard could work, too, but it'll take a lot longer to dry between coats. Only thing I can add to all these which has been indirectly mentioned, Once fire goods will follow a much slower schedule than normal glaze firings.
Lots of folks who once fire just do a cone 6 automatic bisque instead of a cone six automatic glaze in the land of automatic controllers. All that off gassing needs time to make its way out of the wares and through the glaze coating. So the suggestion would be to use a bisque type schedule but fire to your final glaze cone. Some glazes will work better than others in once fire. Testing of the body and glaze is likely the only answer. I have a manual kiln and I will be using a low fire clay body.
I bought the Mayco S Crystal Clear Brushing glaze, but on the bottle reads to apply to bisque, and not greenware. I plan on drying them to bone dry before applying the clear glaze. Dickblicks site reads yes, but on the bottle it reads to apply to bisque, and not greenware. I reads to apply to cone 04 bisque. Then dry thoroughly and fire to shelf cone I am using a low fire clay body, cream white earthenware the cone number of the mature clay is I am using a Manual Kiln with sitter.
Does anyone know which brand makes a clear glaze that can be applied to either bone dry, greenware or wet clay? You can post now and register later.

TheSamm Posted September 11, Posted September 11, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options GEP Posted September 11, Many commercial underglazes are made to work on greenware and bisqueware.
This means underglazes are super versatile and can potentially save you time if you are running a tight firing schedule. Underglaze can be used similarly to the slip trailing technique. Unlike slip trailing, the underglaze will not create a great deal of additive texture. It will, however, provide beautiful and precise details to any clay vessel. Just fill a small precision squeeze bottle with underglaze and students can draw out their designs.
Watercolor underglazes work best on bisque-fired pieces since a great deal of water is needed to apply them.
Using this type of underglaze can achieve painterly effects. The colors blend seamlessly, providing more dimension in pieces. On the test tile above, you can see the difference one coat of clear glaze makes to the watercolor surface.
Using underglaze pencils is an excellent solution for students who prefer drawing over painting. They must be used on bisque-fired clay. Underglaze pencils will show through glaze and underglaze allowing for more defined shapes and detailed drawings. Exposing your students to any of these processes will allow for more variety in their work and produce stunning results!

Tin oxide is not compatible with single fired work as too much damage was caused to the original pieces during the firing process, so a second firing was added. There are generally two methods of raw glazing for the single-fire process.
The first being where you glaze the inside of your greenware pot when it is leather hard and then the outside when it is bone dry. The second more common technique for raw glazing is to glaze the whole piece when the work is leather hard.
This method leaves less room for error in terms of the shock to the work during the firing process. The biggest advantage of single fire glazing is that it saves both time and money. Pottery can be a lengthy process and you will need a lot of patience to get your pieces made. Dependent on what type of glaze you are using a glaze firing can take up to two days. Firing greenware means you can do your firing and glazing in one go, therefore only having to fire up your kiln once.
You can create some beautiful and unusual effects with your glazes in a single firing. Meaning you spend less time waiting until your finished piece is ready and also less power in having to fire your kiln twice. Tempting as these advantages sound, and they are pretty big advantages, you have to also consider the drawbacks of a single firing.
Firstly on the disadvantages front, cracking can be commonplaces in a single firing. Your glazes also run the risk of flaking and cracking in the kiln. This is because bubbles will be escaping the clay as the firing process happens when moisture leaves the clay.
