Glaze and crystals could run off the piece or gather at the base and form unsightly lumps. Similarly horizontal pieces, such as a plate, could cause the glaze to pool excessively if crystals are too heavily gathered on sloped section of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCrystalites™ and Jungle Gems™, were designed to fire to cone 06. Higher temperture firings will change the colors from cone 06 results and movement and flow WILL increase.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSAGE VARIATIONS AND FAQ’S\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Fire Potential\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Our crystal glazes can add excitement and interesting blending effects when fired to higher temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What advice to do have for firing Crystal glazes at higher temperatures?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A: Crystal glazes, already prone to move, will move that much more at higher temperatures. The crystals will lose some of their definition and act more as a blending agent. You'll wan to be careful about placing glaze too close to the bottom of your piece - in addition to stilting you may want to put a tile or a piece of scrap bisque beneath the piece to prevent glaze from running onto your kiln shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What are some of the ways I can use Crystal glazes in my design work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A: Simply apply the crystalites in the pattern and apply as the above directions stated. Several rings of the Crystalites placed in varied patterns are also attractive. Interesting patterns may be obtained by placing several rings of crystals in a necklace-like placement around the piece. The glaze may need to be strained in order to separate the crystals for this procedure. The crystals are then applied using a brush or small spoon in a linear necklace-like ring around the piece. This can be several rings in sequential order or in a zigzag pattern to produce the most pleasing effect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Your label states that Crystalites™ and Jungle Gems™are \"Food Safe\", yet you also include the statement \"May not be suitable for food surfaces due to surface characteristics\"?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A: Food Safety is determined by standards established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ASTM method C-738 and C-927-80 are \"leach tests\"; the tests involve measuring the chemical composition of an acidic food before exposure to a glazed surface and the chemical composition after a several days. If the levels of glaze materials found in the food are below the established limits, the glaze can be marketed as \"Food Safe.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlazes that create dimensional surfaces also create crevices and nooks that can trap food - even after washing. This food can develop bacterial growth and cause health issues. Our policy is to discourage the use of textural glazes on ware that is intended for food usage even though the glaze has met all food safety criteria.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I mix leftover crystals into other glazes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A: Yes. Foundations Sheers would be a good choice as these glazes will allow the crystals to expand much like the base glaze of Crystalites™ and Jungle Gems™.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor Product MSDS Sheets Click on \"Literature\" at the bottom of any page on our site.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/body\u003e"}
Mayco – Cone 06 - S-2703 Berryberry Pie
€7.50
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Mayco's crystal glazes, Crystalites™ and Jungle Gems™, are non-toxic gloss glazes that contain glass frit crystals and specks that melt during the firing process. As these crystals "bloom" and spread they produce dramatic, colorful effects. Our crystal glazes feature a fluid base glaze which allows for greater crystal flow a...
