Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

You can pair the dark olive and metallic-looking color character of GC 1009 Olive Green glaze with the following tones:

Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product regularly before and during application to distribute the pigments and components responsible for the metallic-looking effect evenly.
• Surface preparation: The bisque-fired surface must be clean, dry and free from dust.
• Brush application: The product can be applied directly with a brush after thorough mixing. Allow each coat to release its surface moisture before applying the next coat.
• Thickness effect: Green and metallic-looking variegation becomes more prominent in thin applications, while thick areas may develop dark metallic-looking olive tones approaching black.
• Form effect: The glaze may collect in recessed, curved and textured areas, producing darker tones and more pronounced color transitions.
• Flow control: Because thick applications may run, leave a sufficient safety margin near the base of vertical forms.
• Kiln shelf protection: Firing the piece on a protective tile or suitable kiln shelf separator is recommended to guard against possible glaze runs.
• Crackle effect: The density of the glaze cracks may vary depending on the clay body, application thickness, peak temperature and cooling rate.
• Dilution: For spraying and dipping, add water in small amounts, adjust the Baumé value carefully and avoid over-diluting the product.
• Clay body effect: The sample result was obtained on white casting clay. Different clay colors may alter the final olive tone and metallic-looking appearance.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test the color compatibility, surface interaction and amount of flow on a test tile.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the artistic and metallic-looking surface character. However, the product must not be used on surfaces that come into contact with food.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the working area is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the product tightly closed at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
