Ozz Glaze YD-920 Stain - Artistic High-Fire Glaze (R26062)

OZZ GLAZE YD-920 Stain - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

OZZ GLAZE YD-920 Stain is an artistic high-fire glaze that creates reactive speckles, stain-like transitions and textured color variations across the surface. Its low-flow character helps preserve surface details on vertical forms. After firing, it produces a dynamic, speckled surface that varies depending on application thickness and the clay body used.

Technical Data and Application

Surface and Clay Body Suggestions

OZZ GLAZE YD-920 Stain can be used to emphasize speckled distributions on flat surfaces and stain-like transitions on textured and curved forms. Effect intensity and final surface appearance may vary on white, light-colored, dark or speckled high-fire and porcelain clay bodies.

Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product regularly before and during application to ensure an even distribution of the components that create the speckled and stain-like effects.
• Coat application: For brush application, apply 2-3 even coats to the bisque-fired surface, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
• Thickness effect: Application thickness may affect the density of the speckles, the distribution of the stain-like transitions and the tonal depth across the surface.
• Reactive character: The intensity of the speckled and stain-like effects may vary depending on peak temperature, kiln atmosphere, hold time and cooling schedule.
• Flow: This product has a low-flow character, but surface movement related to application thickness and firing temperature should be evaluated on test tiles.
• Dilution: For spray and dipping applications, add water in small increments, mix the product after each addition and avoid over-dilution.
• Form effect: Speckles may distribute more evenly across flat surfaces, while effect intensity may increase in recessed and textured areas where the glaze pools.
• Clay body selection: The color and texture of the clay body may directly affect the visibility of the speckles and the tone of the stain-like effect.
• Surface preparation: Remove all dust and residue from the bisque-fired surface before application.
• Temperature control: Firings outside the specified temperature range may alter the color and surface texture.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test chemical compatibility, color transitions and the resulting surface effect on a test tile.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the workspace is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
