SP 1491 Green Almond - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

SP 1491 Green Almond is an artistic high-fire glaze that develops light green almond, pistachio green, and cream-toned transitions. Due to its fluid character, color intensity may increase in recessed, curved, and horizontal areas of the form. After firing, it produces a glossy and dynamic surface with tonal variations depending on application thickness.

Application Notes

• Mixing: Stir the product thoroughly before and during application to ensure even distribution of the color-producing components.
• Coat application: Apply the glaze in even coats and carefully control the thickness across the entire form.
• Thickness effect: Lighter green almond tones may appear in thinner areas, while thicker areas may develop pistachio green transitions and lighter variegated effects.
• Flow control: Consider that the glaze may move downward on vertical forms and leave areas near the base unglazed.
• Kiln shelf protection: Fire pieces on a protective catch plate or suitable kiln shelf separator to protect the kiln shelf from possible glaze runs.
• Thinning: For spraying, dipping, or pouring applications, add water gradually in small amounts and avoid excessive dilution.
• Form effect: Glaze may accumulate in recessed, curved, and horizontal areas, producing more intense green tones and dynamic transitions.
• Clay body selection: Green almond tones and lighter variegated transitions may appear more prominent on white and light-colored high-fire clay bodies, while results may vary on darker bodies.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test chemical compatibility, color interaction, and flow behavior on a test tile.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the glossy finish and artistic surface character.
• Safety: Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during application, and the work area should be adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed, store at room temperature, and protect from direct sunlight.
