| Z-Base Glaze Cone 6 |
(This is my Base Glaze) Oxidation
Good glaze to use with colorants. Very nice with 1% copper carb (light blue green) or 3% copper for dark forest green. Semi Matt finish with a silky feel. Best to spray glaze. This glaze works well with mason stains up to 10%. Glaze has a problem with iron. Will form a dark rust color at 2%. I use Laguna Borate instead of G. Borate and it works well. Very nice glaze with the addition of up to 10% rutile. (Try Titanium Diox. Up to 10%, good surface qualities) |

Nice glaze to use as a matt glaze. I use this
glaze as a spray coat to ZSM for glaze variation.
Use thin. Nice glaze with oxides for color.
I use Ash from Axner Supply in Florida.
For a more matt finish increase ball clay.
(this glaze can have a "dark" quality, try changing the ash) |

Strange glaze! Turns gold where thick. Flat black with gold specks. Don't use with other glazes. Make small batches because glaze does not keep well. Worth the effort. (Nice flat Black - Take out the copper)

Very nice base glaze for use on porcelain. Clear shiny gloss glaze. (Try putting some Mason Stains in it - almost any stain. (Mason rating 1,3,6) at 2% to 10% would be nice) |
