GCM 001 Cobalt Blue - Ceramingo Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

GCM 001 Cobalt Blue is a low-fire glaze that combines the timeless, powerful character of cobalt blue with a velvety matte surface. Its low-reflective character emphasizes the form’s contours and surface details while creating an opaque and uniform appearance. Three coats over white clay can produce a richer, more balanced and deeper cobalt-blue tone.

Application Notes

• Brush application: The product can be applied directly to the bisque surface. Two to three coats are recommended for a balanced and opaque surface.
• Drying between coats: Allow the surface to dry completely before applying the next coat. This helps create a more uniform matte surface.
• Matte character: Matte glazes may make application marks more visible. Applying each coat in a different direction can help reduce brush marks.
• Clay effect: White clay bodies produce cleaner and more saturated cobalt-blue tones. Different clay colors may alter the final color and opacity.
• Consistency adjustment: For dipping or spray application, add water gradually and determine the appropriate fluidity through test applications.
• Mixing: Mix the product thoroughly before use until it becomes uniform. If settling occurs during storage, strain the product when necessary.
• Care: Avoid abrasive cleaning products and hard sponges to preserve the velvety appearance of the matte surface.
• Storage: Keep the product in its sealed container, away from direct sunlight and protected from freezing.
