â¢ Apply primer to any knots or resin pockets on the trim. â¢ Let the primer dry, and then begin masking all adjacent surfaces with painter's tape. Be sure to seal the edges firmly. â¢ Wipe down the surface with denatured alcohol or a paint deglosser then prime the entire surface with a stain-blocking primer.
K-feldspar and plagioclase feldspar Feldspars have two cleavage planes that intersect at 90Â°. Fragments of pure feldspar crystals thus tend to form rectangular blocks with irregular ends. Feldspars have vitreous lusters and occur in opaque shades of white to gray to pink to very dark gray.Other rarer colors are also possible! The feldspars are divided into two main groups: Potassium feldspar (K-spar) and plagioclase (plag).-feldspar and plagioclase feldspar Feldspars have two cleavage planes that intersect at 90Â°.

In glazes sodium feldspars are most common and used mainly as a source of alkalis. Feldspars are mineral compounds of silica, alumina and fluxes and are among the relatively few insoluble sources of K2O, Na2O and Li2O.No other raw material is closer to being a complete stoneware glaze on its own than feldspar.toneware glazes using large amounts of feldspar as a flux almost always craze because high-expansion sodium and potassium predominate. High feldspar glazes often lack clay content and thus do not suspend well, they settle in a hard layer on the bottom of the container and dry to a powdery surface on ware.
