Botz 9595 Forest Meadow – Artistic Low-Fire Glaze, 200 ml

Botz 9595 Forest Meadow is a ready-to-use liquid glaze distinguished by its intense green base and light blue, dark blue, yellow and red speckles that spread across the surface. Its semi-transparent character allows the color and surface details of the clay body to partially influence the final appearance. Applying 2 thick coats by brush is recommended to achieve balanced color and speckle distribution.

Application Notes

• Mixing: Stir the product regularly before and during application to distribute the multicolored speckle-producing components evenly throughout the green base.
• Surface preparation: The bisque surface must be clean, dry, free from grease and thoroughly dust-free before application.
• First coat: Apply the first coat thickly and evenly, then allow it to dry sufficiently before applying the second coat.
• Second coat: Apply the second coat evenly and thickly across the form to increase color intensity and improve speckle distribution.
• Coat direction: The second coat may be applied in a different direction from the first to help minimize brush marks and variations in coverage.
• Speckle distribution: If the product is not stirred regularly, the different-colored speckles may become concentrated in certain areas of the surface.
• Transparency effect: Due to its semi-transparent character, the underlying clay color, surface texture and decorative details may remain partially visible after firing.
• Thickness effect: The intensity of the green base, level of transparency and appearance of the speckles may vary between thinly and thickly applied areas.
• Form effect: Glaze may accumulate in recessed, curved and horizontal areas, creating sections with a more intense green color and denser multicolored speckles.
• Firing: The recommended firing range for the product is 1030°C to 1060°C.
• High temperature: Although the product can be fired up to 1100°C, changes in the colors and speckle structure should be evaluated on a test tile.
• Clay body selection: The product may also be used on colored clay bodies; however, the body color may affect the appearance of the green base and speckles.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test the color transitions, speckle distribution and surface compatibility on a test tile.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the glossy, speckled surface appearance.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the workspace is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
