Seramiksir SP 1335 Dark Chocolate - Artistic Crystalline High-Fire Glaze (R24623)

SP 1335 Dark Chocolate - Artistic Crystalline High-Fire Glaze

SP 1335 Dark Chocolate is a reactive high-fire glaze that combines deep dark-chocolate brown and near-black tones with silvery and reddish metallic variations on high-fire clay surfaces. Depending on application thickness, form, and firing conditions, it may develop variable crystalline formations and metallic color transitions across the surface.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The deep, metallic character of SP 1335 Dark Chocolate glaze can be paired with the following tones:

Application Notes

• Product preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application to distribute the reactive crystal-forming components evenly.
• Surface preparation: The bisque surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust before application.
• Brush application: The product can be applied directly with a brush. Apply the glaze evenly and at sufficient thickness across the form to support the development of metallic depth and a crystalline surface.
• Dipping and pouring: Depending on the required application consistency, 5-10% water may be added. Add water gradually and in a controlled manner.
• Crystal development: The intensity of the silvery and reddish metallic variations may change depending on peak temperature, hold time, and cooling rate.
• Application thickness: Color tone, metallic reflection, and crystal distribution may vary between thinly and thickly applied areas.
• Form effect: Dark-chocolate brown tones and metallic effects may appear more intense in recessed, curved, and heavily pooled areas.
• Clay body selection: The color of the high-fire clay or porcelain body may affect the final glaze tone and metallic transitions across the surface.
• Firing effect: Kiln atmosphere, temperature fluctuations, and the cooling schedule may directly affect the appearance of the crystalline surface.
• Storage: Store the product at room temperature with the lid tightly closed and away from direct sunlight.
