A381 Mica Blue - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

Application Notes

• Brush application: For deeper blue tones and a more pronounced mica-like texture, 2-5 coats are recommended. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats and apply each coat in a different direction.
• Coat effect: As the number of coats increases, the intensity of the blue tones, speckle distribution, and mineral-like surface movement may become more pronounced.
• Consistency adjustment: For dipping, pouring, or spraying applications, 10-15% water may be added depending on the desired consistency. Add water gradually and in a controlled manner.
• Clay body selection: Blue tonal transitions and the speckled texture may appear more clearly on white and light-colored low-fire clay bodies. The color character may vary on darker bodies.
• Firing effect: Surface movement, blue tone distribution, and mica-like appearance may vary depending on kiln heat distribution, hold time, and cooling rate.
• Preparation: Mix the glaze thoroughly before use to ensure even distribution of the pigments and particles responsible for the artistic effect.
