Ozz Glaze DD-865 Crocodile - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze (R26071)

OZZ GLAZE DD-865 Crocodile - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

OZZ GLAZE DD-865 Crocodile is an artistic low-fire glaze that creates reactive transitions in emerald and moss-green tones. Its fluid character allows it to pool in recessed, curved and textured areas of the form, producing deeper shades. After firing, it develops a dynamic, textured surface reminiscent of crocodile skin, varying according to application thickness and the surface characteristics of the form.

Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product regularly before and during application to ensure an even distribution of the coloring and texture-forming 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 green tones, while deeper emerald and moss-green transitions may intensify in thicker areas.
• Reactive character: The intensity of the color transitions and textured surface effect may vary depending on application thickness, 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 deeper 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 intensity of the green tones and the reactive 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, 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.
