Ozz Glaze Crater Light - Textured Artistic High-Fire Glaze (R26075)

OZZ GLAZE Crater Light - Textured Artistic High-Fire Glaze

OZZ GLAZE Crater Light is an artistic high-fire glaze that creates light-toned, foamed, porous and crater-like surface effects. Its reactive and textured character gives forms pronounced depth and a sculptural appearance. After firing, it produces a matte or semi-matte surface with crater sizes that vary depending on application thickness, clay body and firing schedule.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The light-toned and textured surface effect of OZZ GLAZE Crater Light can be paired with the following colors:

Application Notes

• Mixing: The product must be mixed thoroughly before and during application to ensure an even distribution of the crater-forming components.
• Coat application: For brush application, apply 2-3 coats to the bisque-fired surface, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
• Thickness effect: Thin applications produce smaller, shallower craters, while thick applications may create larger, deeper and more voluminous pores.
• Texture control: Prepare test tiles comparing different numbers of coats and application thicknesses to determine the desired crater size.
• Reactive character: Crater density and distribution, as well as the surface finish, may vary depending on peak temperature, kiln atmosphere, hold time and cooling schedule.
• Dilution: For spray and dipping applications, add water in small increments, mix the product after each addition and avoid over-dilution.
• Form effect: Glaze may accumulate in recessed, curved and horizontal areas, potentially creating larger and denser craters in these sections.
• Clay body selection: The color and surface texture of different high-fire clay bodies may affect the glaze’s light tones and crater appearance.
• Surface preparation: Remove all dust and residue from the bisque-fired surface before application.
• Intended use: This product should only be used on decorative objects, artistic pieces and sculptural works.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test chemical compatibility and the resulting textural interaction on a test tile.
• 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.
