Ready-to-use liquid glaze. Firing range 1020° - 1060° C. Glossy, semi-transparent. Suitable for raku. Tends to crackle.

BOTZ Liquid Glaze Oriental Blue is a glaze in glossy, strong, semi-transparent turquoise, which becomes a greenish turquoise at a higher firing temperature of 1100° C. The turquoise appears on light-coloured clay. The turquoise looks particularly bright on light-coloured clay and on porcelain clay. On coloured clay, the glaze becomes darker, also depending on the number of layers of glaze applied. The firing range of the liquid glaze is 1020° - 1060° C. However, the glaze can also be fired up to 1100° C. The oriental blue glaze forms cracks, the craquelé can be coloured with ink.

APPLICATION:

Stir the glaze vigorously before application. Apply the first layer of glaze with a brush to the grease and dust-free body. Allow to dry, then apply the second layer of glaze. Once dry, apply a third layer of glaze if necessary. Allow the last layer of glaze to dry thoroughly before firing. The dried glaze is firm to the touch so that the glazed ceramic can be handled and placed in the kiln without any problems. The ideal firing temperature is 1050° C with a holding time of 10 - 20 minutes.

The glaze is ready to use. If the glaze has become too solid, add a little water and stir in vigorously.
