Ozz Glaze DD-230 Caria - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze (R26068)

OZZ GLAZE DD-230 Caria - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

OZZ GLAZE DD-230 Caria is an artistic low-fire glaze that creates reactive transitions in vivid turquoise and sea-green tones. Its fluid character allows it to pool in recessed, curved and textured areas of the form, increasing the color intensity. After firing, it produces a glossy surface with dynamic, crystalline-like transitions that vary depending on application thickness and the clay body used.

Color Pairing Suggestions

The turquoise and sea-green surface effect of OZZ GLAZE DD-230 Caria can be paired with the following colors:

Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product regularly before and during application to ensure an even distribution of the coloring and reactive components.
• Coat application: For brush application, apply 2-3 even coats to the bisque-fired surface, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
• Thickness effect: Thinner areas may display lighter turquoise tones, while sea-green tones and reactive transitions may intensify in thicker areas.
• Crystalline-like effect: The intensity and distribution of the crystalline-like textures may vary depending on application thickness, clay body and firing schedule.
• Reactive character: The intensity of the color transitions and surface movement may vary depending on peak temperature, kiln atmosphere and cooling schedule.
• Flow control: Consider the glaze’s downward movement on vertical forms and apply it more thinly around the lower sections and base of the piece.
• Kiln shelf protection: Fire the piece on a catch plate or suitable kiln shelf separator to protect against possible glaze runs.
• Dilution: For spray and dipping applications, add water in small increments, mix the product after each addition and avoid over-dilution.
• Form effect: The glaze may pool in recessed, curved and textured areas, creating more intense turquoise and sea-green tones, while edges and raised areas may appear lighter.
• Clay body selection: The color and surface texture of different low-fire clay bodies may affect the appearance of the turquoise tones and crystalline-like effects.
• Surface preparation: Remove all dust and residue from the bisque-fired surface before application.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test chemical compatibility, color transitions and the amount of flow 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.
