Description

Washes are a multi-purpose product with limitless possibilities. Washes can be used alone or with any glaze from low fire (cone 06/05), mid-range (cone 5/6), and up to high-fire (cone 10). They are primarily used painted into textured areas and wiped away on the higher surface to accentuate the texture. When used in combination, Manganese Wash will add some brown variation and movement to the glaze(s). The amount of mobility produced when using Manganese Wash in combination is dependent upon how much of each product was applied; how many coats of each and how many different products are being used; and the performance of the glaze it is being paired with. For example, layering Manganese Wash with a glossy glaze that breaks over texture will create more movement than layering it with an opaque matte glaze. We recommend only applying Manganese Wash to the top 2/3 of a piece when layering with other glazes because of the movement produced when layering. It works great when applied with a brush around the rim of a piece or applied with a glaze trailer in a pattern. Manganese Wash also works great as a body stain. Applying clear glaze can lessen the appearance of staining.

Preferably applied with a soft fan brush on the 04 bisque. Burn to between cone 5 and cone 6 (1200°C - 1230°C). Many colors perform very well even at higher temperatures see pictures, tested before application on production. 473 ml. Ready-mixed.

Information

Cone 6 oxidation (larger image): Fires to a warm metallic finish that breaks brown over texture. Can add mobility when layered with glaze(s).

Cone 10 reduction: No change from cone 6 sample.

Cone 06 oxidation: Fires to a dark brown with a dry finish and slight sheen. Little to no movement when used alone or in combination.
