Stoneware Glaze 1362 Bordeaux 5 kg
[231362-5]

The glaze is reminiscent of the classic oxblood glaze. The Chinese burned in wood-fired kilns with a reducing atmosphere. Today, the same type of glaze has been developed for firing in an electric kilns. 1362 must be glazed thick to get the right shade. When firing to 1220 °C, the glaze is silky matte, at 1260 °C the glaze becomes glossy.

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.
