Stoneware Glaze 2489 Violet 5 kg
[232489-5]

Requires exactly the right thickness of the glaze layer to produce the deep violet colour. Too thin a glaze means that the depth of the colour disappears, but the glaze layer becomes too thick, the glaze does not melt out and the surface becomes crystalline. The glaze is not suitable for ferrous clays.

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.
