1220-1280°C is an ideal firing range.

Hi, I bought this glaze but find it settles so quickly it's really difficult to dip even a single piece before it solidifies. -Maybe it's the water here?- Can I add Calcium chloride to stop the settling and at what ratio?

Respuestas de Scarva:

Sorry to hear of this issue, yes please add 1 gram of calcium chloride per 1 kilo of glaze. Hope this helps.

Hi, 100 degC/hour to Orton cone 8 (on most controllers this is 1220-1230) with a 10 minute soak. Hope this helps.

Another new addition to the Scarva catalgoue is the beautiful range of Porcelain Crackle Glazes. These glazes were delveloped in the Scarva lab after ever increasing demand for crackle glazes especially for Porcelain bodies. They are available in both powder and brush-on and we recommend 2-3 coats. After firing the crackle should be given time to develop, usually around 48 hours is a good estimate. To further enhance the crackle, Indian ink or very strong tea can be applied over the glaze to highlight the crazing. Please be aware that due to the nature of crackle glazes they are not suitable for use on dinnerware.
