GC 1622 Caramel - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

GC 1622 Caramel is an artistic low-fire glaze that combines warm caramel tones with a matte surface and reactive transitions. Depending on application thickness, it may produce natural variations in texture, dark caramel transitions, and metallic reflections. Its ready-to-use liquid form is suitable for decorative projects as well as functional pottery forms such as mugs, bowls, and serving pieces.

Application Notes

• Surface preparation: The bisque surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust before application.
• Mixing: Stir the product regularly before and during application to distribute the color- and metallic-effect-producing components evenly.
• Brush application: The product is supplied as a thick liquid and can be applied directly to the bisque surface after mixing.
• Coat application: The surface effect shown in the sample image was achieved by applying 3 brushed coats to a white clay body.
• Waiting between coats: Allow the surface moisture of each coat to dissipate before applying the next coat.
• Spray application and dipping: For these methods, adjust the product consistency by gradually adding 5-10% water in a controlled manner.
• Dilution: Add water in small increments, mix thoroughly after each addition, and avoid excessive dilution.
• Thickness effect: Thinner applications may produce lighter caramel tones, while thicker applications may intensify dark caramel transitions and metallic reflections.
• Reactive character: The intensity of the color transitions and surface texture may vary depending on application thickness, peak temperature, and cooling rate.
• Form effect: The glaze may pool in recessed, textured, curved, and horizontal areas, producing darker tones and more pronounced surface variations.
• Clay body selection: Caramel tones and metallic reflections may appear more clearly on white clay bodies. Results may vary on differently colored bodies.
• Vertical forms: Keep the application thickness controlled on vertical surfaces and leave an unglazed safety margin near the base to allow for possible glaze movement.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining this product with other glazes, test chemical compatibility, color transitions, and surface behavior on a test tile.
• Care: Hand washing with non-abrasive cleaning products is recommended to preserve the matte artistic surface.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the work area is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
