Seramiksir SP 1509 Etna - Artistic High-Fire Glaze (R26039)

SP 1509 Etna - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

SP 1509 Etna is an artistic high-fire glaze that transitions from a glossy surface with white variations to rich, deep red tones. As application thickness increases, the red character becomes stronger, while thinner areas may develop lighter, semi-transparent effects with white variations. On textured surfaces, edges, and recessed areas, it creates tonal variations that give the form a strong sense of depth.

Application Notes

• Thin application: May create a lighter, dynamic, and semi-transparent surface where white and red tones appear together.
• Thick application: The red color becomes richer and deeper. Glaze flow may also increase significantly as application thickness increases.
• Texture effect: On textured surfaces, corners, and raised areas, the natural color of the clay body may remain partially visible, creating a three-dimensional effect.
• Flow control: A wide unglazed area should be left near the base of the piece. For thick applications, a catch plate or kiln shelf protection should be used.
• Consistency adjustment: For dipping or spray gun applications, water should be added gradually and in a controlled manner to avoid over-diluting the product.
• Clay body selection: Due to its semi-transparent character, the color of the clay body may affect the final appearance. Red-white transitions may appear more pronounced on white and light-colored clay bodies.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the gloss and color transitions of the artistic surface.
• Safety: Gloves, a mask, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during application, and the working area should be adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container closed and store away from direct sunlight. If thickening or settling occurs, mix thoroughly before application and strain if necessary.
