Stoneware Glaze
We recommend our GZ2150 as a suitable base transparent for this stain. This high-calcium glaze has been developed to produce the best colour response in pink, purple and mauve stains.
Firing Information
Firing temperatures can only be taken as a rough guide. Firing at 1200°C on a slow shecdule may give the equivalent maturing as firing to 1260°C on a fast schedule. The firing cycle, atmosphere, heat work and cooling rate will all affect the final result. As with all products we recommend testing before comitting to work.
Effects of Zinc
Zinc oxide influences the colour in a glaze more than any other element. Generally, zincless glazes should not conatin magnesium oxide. Some colours containing zinc are to be used in a zincless glaze. The zinc in the colour is in a combined form and will not harm the colour however free zinc oxide in the glaze can destroy the colour.
