Devit Spray

Devit spray is used to prevent or minimize devitrification on your fused glass. It is sprayed or brushed on the glass before firing.

It can also be used to reverse devitrification, some say. This is done by cleaning the piece after sanding, then spraying and re-firing. I have not tried this method, so I can't say whether or not it will work for your piece.

The brand name and most talked about product is called Super Spray. This can be purchased on line or from your local glass store.

Did you know that you can make a similar product? Read below for more information.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Borax (yes, the kind mother use to use on your clothes)
  • 1 Tablespoon dishwashing detergent
  • 1 cup warm distilled water
  • Mix the borax with most of the warm water. Allow this mixture to settle and then add pour just the liquid into another container. Throw out any residue that might be at the bottom of the mixture. Mix the dishwashing detergent with the rest of the water and add to the borax and water mixture. You can mix the ingredients in a glass jar with a lid and shake to mix. Label the jar and shake before each usage. A larger quantity can be made by using 1 cup of dishwashing liquid , 1 gallon of distilled water, and 1 cup of borax.

    Brush or spray this solution on your glass pieces before placing them in the kiln for firing.

    Safety

    Wash hands after mixing and using this product. Exposure to borax can be harmful, so avoid any long term exposure.
