GC 1620 Metallic Green - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

GC 1620 Metallic Green is an artistic low-fire glaze that produces dark green tones, metallic reflections, and reactive color transitions across the surface.

Application Notes

• Preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application until a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Brush application: The glaze can be applied directly to a clean, dry bisque surface. Applying 3 coats is recommended to achieve a result similar to the visual sample.
• Drying between coats: Allow the surface to dry before applying the next coat, and brush each coat in a different direction for even distribution.
• Dipping and spray application: Depending on the application method, 5-10% water may be added gradually and in a controlled manner.
• Flow character: This glaze is highly fluid. Thick applications may increase the risk of downward movement and glaze running onto the kiln shelf.
• Metallic effect: As the number of coats and application thickness increase, the metallic green appearance, gray reflections, and reactive surface movement may become more pronounced.
• Base clearance: Leave a sufficient unglazed area around the base of vertical forms to allow for possible glaze movement.
• Clay body selection: Metallic green and silvery transitions may appear more clearly on white clay bodies, while dark or colored bodies may produce deeper results.
• Storage: Keep the product tightly closed at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and protect it from freezing.
