Working Notes
TIP: Slow cool-down after firing will encourage micro-crystals to form in the glaze.
The glaze requires 2-3 coats for full coverage. At cone 5 the shinos produce a shiny matte finish. When fired to cone 6 they become glossier, and the breaking effect of the colour becomes more pronounced.
Works well with other glazes, especially the spectrum Ash Glaze range.
Health & Safety
Manufacturers Recommendations: Dinnerware Safe indicates the fired glaze surface meets the FDA standards for food safe, the fired surface is free of surface texture that could potentially trap bacterial, and the fired surface is chemically durable. Please note, dinnerware safety is not defined by cutlery scratches. Finished ware producers bear responsibility for dinnerware safe testing their ware being sold into commerce.
We at Bath Potters will quote the manufacturers recommendations, but if you intend to make ceramic dinnerware with selling in mind, then you would be best advised to get your wares tested.
