Due to the powdered nature of the materials involved with the dry-mix dipping buckets of this product, their respective health information and labels differ from the brushing glazes.
Safety Warning
Tableware producers must test all finished ware to establish dinnerware status, due to possible variations in firing temperature and contamination.Click here for AMACO's guide to layering their glazes.
Tips from Amaco on using Blue Spark:
- This glaze does not like iron bearing clay bodies and does better on white stonewares and porcelains.
- It needs to be applied thickly. Amaco's standard 3 coats can sometimes resemble our customer's two coats. This glaze needs at least 3-4 coats to achieve crystal growth.
- A lower bisque temperature may help. Here at Amaco, we normally bisque to cone 04. Depending on the clay body, this glaze might do better at cones 05-06.
- Glaze temperatures and firing schedules are critical with this glaze. I have attached the Camille Hoffman schedule, which has had good results. But we have also succeeded with a cone five firing with a 20-minute hold and a cone 6 firing at medium speed.
- If the glaze has pitted severely, sometimes refiring it at cone 6 will calm pin holes and blisters.
