Based on our unique glaze system, you can blend color glaze to color glaze or add stains to the clear or whites and create your own distinct look. The possibilities are virtually limitless. Opulence Glazes are completely barium and lead-free, and when fired properly have an extremely hard surface, making them an excellent choice for dinnerware. Although these glazes were designed specifically for C/6 electric firing, we have had excellent results in C/10 gas reduction and C/10 wood firing. Opulence cone 6 Glazes are extremely easy to mix, add the recommended amount of water, screen with a 80 mesh sieve and you are ready to glaze! We have two types of C/6 glazes: dry glaze manufactured for dipping- in 5 lbs. and 25 lbs. packages or in liquid pints that are now enhanced for better brushability. New Directions for BRUSHING Opulence Glaze Liquid Pints: PLEASE READ: Brush 2-3 coats on C/06-04 Bisque. For best results, use a soft fan brush. When layering two different Opulence Glazes, use only 2-3 coats TOTAL to avoid over application. The brushable liquid pints can be modified for dipping/pouring by adding 2 capfuls of water and shaking well before using. Allow to dry thoroughly before glaze firing to C/6.
