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: 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.
