As far as stilting it, perhaps you could A) use a red slip for casting it, and glaze just the" metal" parts of the gun. Leave the grips "au natural" and stilt the piece on the grips. Perhaps the tip of the gun could be left natural if a tip stilt is needed. THis is assuming the gun is fired lying on it side B) Use normal (white) casting slip, and only use underglazes on the grips and tip. Underglaze supposedly will not stick to stilts (when used in moderation). Just thinking. I love a good glaze puzzle! :) Henrik
