Usage
Dry glaze is to be dissolved in water to thick paste which should be thinned to proper density. Mellowing and screening before use is pertinent. The glaze density depends on the way of application and on the body porosity. A thick porous bisque, which absorbes the water fast, requires rather a thinner glaze than a tighter, less porous body, which absorbes the water slowly. Each glaze is recommended to be tested with various layers on the body concerned and under determined conditions. The layer should be up to 1 mm; generally transparent glazes are glazed thinner than the opaque ones. In order to avoid the settling out we recommend you to use an electrolyte Ls 040 18 amounting to 1-2 ml for 1 kg dry substance. The mixing of the glazes is possible in order to change color shade, melting properties or to achieve some artistic effects. Sometimes the glaze coat can crawl due to the presence of dust, grease or dirt on the bisque. Common bisque firing (earthenware) should be 50°C (2 cones) hotter than the glaze fired. Stoneware bisque firing is up to 800-900°C. In some cases it is possible to glaze the green body and to fire once only. Glazed pieces have to be well dried before the firing. The firing temperature should correspond to given data. When fired less, the glaze will be rough and matte, fired hotter, the glaze runs down the piece or soaks into the body.
Payment and Shipping
Due to COVlD-19 lock-down, the only available transport is International Recorded Delivery (with tracking number). It is more expensive but safe. You can order another quantity. I always combine the packages. The costs for posting depend of total weight of the package. I prefer PayPal as payment method, but if you wish to transfer funds via bank account, I have such in Sydney in AUD, so ask for my bank details.
