MAYCO Norse Blue 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: Norse Blue is a semi-opaque blue gloss glaze that displays shades of light blue and green. The variation of glaze depends on application. The thicker the application, the more homogenous the colour will be. The glaze will break translucent where thinner and pool darker around surface textures.

Cone 10 reduction: Colour darkens.

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.
