Opulence Mixing Instructions
Mixing Instructions
Directions for Brushable Liquid
Brush 3-4 coats on C/06-04 bisque. For best results, use a soft brush. Brushable liquid glaze can be modified for dipping/pouring by adding 2 capfuls of water and shaking well before using. Allow to dry thoroughly before glaze firing to C/6.
Directions for Dry 5 lb and 25 lb quantity
For dipping and pouring, add dry glaze to water as specified below for each glaze line. Sieve through an 80 mesh screen. Recommended specific gravity 150-155.
Gloss Glazes
Numbered 100-599 MIXING DRY: 5 lb -mix with 4.5 lb of water /25 lb -mix with 22.5 lb of water. These colorful, glossy glazes show the best result with a slow, gradual dip. They are not prone to flow or move. Perfect for adding a base color when layering glazes.
EnviroColor Glazes
Numbered 800-899 MIXING DRY: 5 lb -mix with 4.5 lb of water / 25 lb -mix with 22.5 lb of water. Glazes in this group display a unique contrast of sheen and matte effect. Because of the chemical makeup of these glazes, it is very important that you stir between each application. When applied alone, these glazes are not prone to flow or move.
Reduction-Look Glazes
Numbered 600-699 MIXING DRY: 5 lb -mix with 4.5 lb of water / 25 lb -mix with 22.5 lb of water. Reduction Look glazes are formulated to mimic a gas or wood fired look and break into secondary colors. These glazes can be dipped at a slower pace and even benefit from an accented second dip (half way down the pot). All of the glazes in this group run the risk of flowing off the pot if two Reduction Look glazes are layered too closely to the bottom.
Translucent Glazes
Numbered 900-999 MIXING DRY: 5 lb -mix with 4.5 lb of water / 25 lb -mix with 22.5 lb of water. A lighter clay body best shows the colors of these glazes. A slower dip or double dip will result in a deeper effect, especially in textured areas. These glazes pair well when applied under other glazes from the Opulence Glaze lines.
Satin Matte Glazes
Numbered 700-799 MIXING DRY: 5 lb -mix with 4.5 lb of water / 25 lb -mix with 22.5 lb of water. The saturated color and a satin matte finish make these glazes stand out from the rest. Stiring these glazes between each application will ensure the best coverage. Although Opulence Satin Matte glazes fire beautifully at C/6, for a more matte effect, program the kiln to fire C/5 with a 30 minute hold.
