SW-433 TURQOISE MELT GLOOP

Application: Effects are achieved by applying the glaze using a slip trailer or a dispensing bottle onto bone-dry greenware or low-fired stoneware bisque (Cone 04 / 1060°C ). Running effect: To create a more dynamic, dripping look, apply larger dots of glaze on vertical surfaces. Texture: The glaze may run down and pool inside textured areas, filling them in. Application: Dampen the bisque with a sponge before applying to ensure better glaze adhesion. Applying too thick a layer or over-application can cause the glaze to flake or peel off. Apply with care. Layering: Can be layered and blended with other Melt Gloop colors. Using with slips and underglazes: If using Melt Gloop over stoneware slips or underglazes, it is recommended to bisque fire first (up to Cone 04) before applying this glaze. Dimensionality: The glaze retains its dimensional, high-relief profile when applied over underglazes and slips, but turns flat if layered underneath or on top of another glaze. Firing: It is recommended to fire the piece as soon as possible after decorating to prevent any glaze flaking issues. Line formation: When applied in a horizontal line, the glaze may split or separate after firing, creating vertical runs. Layering: When building up layers, it is recommended to apply the glaze onto the ridges or edges of the piece – this helps the glaze adhere better.
