Glazing woes?? Have no fear - Amaco is here!! Follow along in our first Top 5 video where we guide you through our top tips and tricks when it comes to brushing glaze on your ceramic wares.
The sample pieces we show in Amaco ads and layering brochures aren't achieved by camera tricks or elaborate firing schedules, but simply by a uniform method for applying glazes and tracking results.
The Dipping and Layering glazes are easy-to-use mid-range dry dipping glazes that were designed to be dipped and layered with ease. These glaze colors are inspired by popular layering colors from the Potter's Choice glaze series.
Quick mixing! Pre-measured, dry dipping materials. Simply add one gallon of distilled water per 1 bag of dry materials!
Each glaze bag produces roughly 1.25 gallons or at least 10 pints worth of glaze! These glazes are perfect for the studio or classroom! Easy application and faster than brushing with consistent and reliable results!
Cone 5 = 1184 °C (at 150°C/hour for the final 100°C of firing) / 2201°F ( at 270°F/hour in the final 200°F of firing)
Cone 6 = 1241°C (at 150°C/hour for the final 100°C of firing) / 2266°F ( at 270°F/hour in the final 200°F of firing)

USE DISTILLED WATER.
Why? Variability of tap water may cause unfavorable results.
Recommend mixing one package of dry glaze to ensure enough depth for dipping.
For best results, mix with a drill mixer attachment and sieve glaze through an
80-mesh screen and let sit overnight.
If in a production environment, keep track of batch codes to ensure consistency.
Use the Batch Code Tracker sheet included in the instructions!
Wipe bisqueware clean before glazing.
Application
Before glazing, we recommend conducting a test dip. Conduct a test dip by submerging a sample piece into the glaze mixture. Doing so helps you assess the glaze thickness and compatibility with your bisque materials.
We recommend dipping your pieces for 1-3 seconds.
