CL glazes restricted from use K-6
(ASTM D-4236/LHAMA)
Cone 05. Although AMACO Opalescent Glazes may be used
on any AMACO clay, they develop their greatest opalescence and most
interesting textures when applied over red burning AMACO Indian Red
Clay No. 67. Most of the AMACO® Opalescent Glazes have a high gloss
similar to mother-of-pearl. Best results are achieved with three or
four applications of glaze. On textured ware, the glaze flows thin on
relief and thick in incised areas, giving an added dimension on the
surface.
AMACO® Opalescent Glazes can be used very effectively in Raku
firing. We suggest controlled experimentation with Opalescent glazes
(for example O-42, O-23 at Cone 5, 2205°F, 1207°C). When fired at this
temperature on the inside of a stoneware bowl, the glaze flows to
produce a variegated bottom and thins at the rim to expose more of the
clay body.
AMACO Opalescent Glazes are supplied in liquid, ready-to-use form in
pint jars. They are applied on a mature Cone 04 (1971°F, 1077°C) bisque
by brushing, dipping, or pouring. On red bisque, these glazes should be
applied rather heavily, and a slow rather than fast firing is best.
Firing range is from Cone 05 (1911°F, 1044°C) to Cone 03 (2019°F,
1104°C). Recommended temperature is Cone 05 (1911°F, 1044°C).
