Nori Green Spectrum Floating Glaze
COSHH SheetDescription
Spectrum’s Floating Nori Green is a cone 4/6 (1180°C -1220°C) stoneware glaze. They are all lead free, non-toxic and dinnerware safe. They are formulated to produce reactions during the firing cycle which give very interesting and beautiful effects. The final appearance of the glaze is dependent on firing temperature, glaze thickness and the composition of the clay body being used. They break and react beautifully especially when applied over textured surfaces. One colour appears to float above another without the need for layering multiple glazes.
Working Notes
For best results we recommend experimenting with thickness to get the effect you desire. We recommend 2-3 coats for full coverage. Thin with water if necessary.
Try overlapping glazes for new and interesting glaze results. Some of Spectrum Glazes are designed to move and shift in the glaze firing resulting in beautifully bright and layered looks.This does mean these glazes are prone to running on vertical surfaces, so please protect you kiln shelves accoprdingly.
For best results fire 1200°C.
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.
