MAYCO Celadon Bloom Dry Powder Dipping Glaze 4.5kg

Use Mayco Stoneware Dry glazes for fast dipping and layering action, creating natural flowing effects. All you need to do is add water, slake, stir and DIP! 

• Mix with water for dipping, layering or pouring techniques - no sieving required.
• Great for pieces with a lot of surface texture and for layering techniques.
• Colours and formulas are identical to their liquid/brush on variants (minus the added organic gums).

Cone 6 oxidation: Celadon Bloom is a turquoise semi-transparent gloss glaze that contains a white crystal.

Cone 10 reduction: Colour lightens. Crystals remain.

TIP: When applying Stoneware Dry Crystal glazes, use a cup or ladle to pour the glaze over your piece. While the glaze is wet, you may use a fan brush to evenly distrib­ute the crystals; avoid heavy crystal loading on the bottom 1/3 of your piece.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prior to opening, gently tumble bag to redistribute material. Sieving is not necessary.
2. Mix one 4.5kg bag of dry material into at least 5.5kg of water and stir thoroughly.
3. If needed, add additional water until desired consistency is reached. Mayco recommends a Specific Gravity in the range of 1.47-1.51 for a 1 second dip time; you may want to mix to a lower Specific Gravity if you layer your glazes or tend to dip longer. 
4. Stir well before each use.

Always wear a respirator when handling dry glazes.

DIPPING TIPS

1. Immerse the ware for 1-2 seconds. We suggest using dipping tongs. One dip of Mayco Dry is equivalent to 3 coats of brush-on glaze.
2. Shake excess glaze off gently. Allow the glaze to dry before applying additional coats, if desired.
3. Fire to preferred temperature between cones 5-10 (1186°C-1285°C).

Testing is always recommended. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
