Working Notes
Try Amaco's Potters Choice Glazes over a textured clay or pattern for amazing results, or try overlapping two colors and create your own unique blend. Click here to see all the layering combos.
We recomend 2-3 coats, however each glaze needs to be applied at a certain thickness to bring out their true beauty, so we recomend experimenting first.
As a general rule we find that most people that are having issues seem to be applying glaze on the light side. If the glaze is applies too thinly, the glaze will not be able to float, and the result witll be flat.
Cone 5 = 1186°C (at 60°C/hour for the final 100°C of firing)
Cone 6 = 1222°C (at 60°C/hour for the final 100°C of firing)
Health & Safety
Manufacturers Recommendations: Not Suitable for Dinnerware due to Surface Durability indicates the fired glaze surface may not be desirable to use a particular glaze for dinnerware even though it has passed the food safe testing process. Much of this is due to the fired glaze surface being impacted by contact with acidic food or liquids. Please note, dinnerware safety is not defined by cutlery scratches.
