Application
Three full coats are required to achieve the best results using the Clear Glaze. These are carefully applied at right angles to one another (ie. crosshatched), allowing each to dry in-between. A soft glazing brush should be used in order to minimise streaking. Besides brushing, the Clear glaze may also be sponged.
The Clear Glaze Brush on may be sprayed and thinned with clean water if necessary to improve glaze flow.
When using the Clear Glaze Dipping, it may be necessary to add some clean water depending on the thickness of the glaze required on the ware and the firing temperature of the kiln. Stir the glaze thoroughly and to 10 litres of glaze add 400 – 500 ml clean water. Proceed to dip pieces once using tongs, stirring glaze occasionally to keep the glaze uniform.
Both the Clear Brush On and the Dipping Glazes are overglaze compatible and may also be sprayed.
