Borax, flip and fire?

I know that borax sticks to primer.
If borax mix is brushed on the top side of a project and fired. Then the project is flipped onto its top to fire again, will the previously boraxed side stick to primer?

It might. I had a couple of borax drips on the underside of the glass not only stick to the primer, but go through to the bisqued mold and pull out a small chunk there, too. Not fun.

That borax is powerful sticking stuff but I never knew it was that powerful. Sorry for you to have to discover it that way.
Do people use it on their last fire only if they are going to flip and fire? There are times I flip a couple of times, to even out something or just because I've decided I like the other side better; the second time around.
