One of Coyote's most popular and versatile glazes. A very runny, richly varied green that can be unpredictable, sometimes creating both matt and gloss areas on a single pot. Combines beautifully with almost all Coyote Glazes, and explodes with crystals in a slow cool.
Our Mid-Fire Glaze of the Month - April 2013I always enjoy the glaze of the month tests that I do, and I like to find the uniqueness and beauty in each glaze I use, but sometimes, I open the kiln and just absolutely fall in love. This was true of our April Glaze of the Month for Mid-Fire. Coyote Gun Metal Green is beautiful on a wide variety of clay bodies all on its own, and I like it with one coat, two coats or three coats. Depending on the thickness, you can achieve an entirely different effect from a lovely seafoam green with hints of metal to a darker mottled green with hints of seafoam to a mid-tone green with metallic float. This glaze also works nicely in combination with other glazes. The versatility and beauty of this glaze has earned it a spot in my permanent pallet.
Fantasy Glazes can vary dramatically in appearance depending on the clay body used, the thickness of application, and in some cases, the firing. They can be runny, so it's important to test carefully.

Basic Glazing Instructions First you want to apply wax resist to the foot of your pot (where you don't want any glaze). When you dip your pot in bucket of glaze, the glaze won't stick where you have waxed. The glazes become molten glass in the kiln, so if there is any glaze on the bottom, your pot will stick to the shelf. This will wreck your pot and your kiln shelves! Paint a thin coat of wax on the bottom, as well as up the sides at least ¼ inch. All glazes move a little in the firing, and some are quite runny. Always leave enough room for your glaze to flow some without sticking to the kiln shelf. Until you are familiar with a particular glaze, it is better to leave some extra room. Use a thin coat of wax. It works better and dries faster. Let the wax dry for at least 15 or 20 minutes before dipping a pot in glaze. Use an old cruddy brush, they are never the same after using for wax. Clean your wax brush in warm water with a drop or two of dishwashing soap. Be careful not to get the wax where you don't want it, i.e. waxy fingerprints. Before you glaze your work, you should quickly rinse it under cold water. Thoroughly mix the glaze just before you use it. Dipping To coat the whole piece in a single glaze, the easiest technique is to pick it up with a pair of glaze tongs, dip it in, count to three and pull it out. Make sure to empty it as you withdraw it. If you pull a bowl out still full of glaze it will weigh so much that the tongs will break through. Hold it upside down over the bucket to drain the excess glaze. There will probably be some glaze sticking to the waxed areas; wipe off what you can while you are holding it with the tongs. Set the piece down and let it dry. After it is dry enough to handle, turn it over and sponge off any glaze still remaining on the bottom. The foot must be perfectly clean before it can go in a kiln. Brushing For brushing, most glazes need 2 to 3 coats. It is easier to get even coverage if you brush the first coat side to side, then the next coat up and down. Firing These glazes work best when fired between cone 5 and 6 (Orton Standard or Self-Supporting Cones, used as a witness cone placed on the kiln shelf during firing). If you use a kiln sitter you usually have to use a cone six in the sitter to achieve a good cone 5. For automatic kilns, we fire to cone 5 (fast) with a 15 minute hold. Every kiln is different, so you may have to fine tune your firing to achieve the best results.
