1088 is an easy-to-work glaze. The glaze is very suitable for majolica technique or painting with decorative paints, ie, you paint on the dry, unburned glass surface with colour stains, decorative paint or oxides. Should be fired at around 1060 °C to reduce the risk of cracking on red, black and white clay.

The glaze powder is mixed with water, for good mixing results we recommend glaze stirrers [325031]. Measure approx. 8 dl water per kg glaze powder and slowly pour the powder into the water while stirring. Adjust glaze powder and amount of water using a hydrometer [324060]. If the glaze has not been used for some time, the specific gravity should be checked before use.

We recommend that transparent and single-colored glazes should be sieved through a sieve with a mesh density of 60 mesh [32522060], however, sieving of effect glazes should be avoided.

The glaze can settle, to avoid this adjusting agent ABM-3 [2858] can be added.
