Description

Mudcrack was developed to create a highly-texture raised and cracked surface. The thicker the application, the more textured the surface. Mudcrack can be directly applied to bisqueware or in combination with other mid-range glazes. For shown results, apply directly to bisqueware. Heavy application may cause unfired glaze to release from bisqueware. If glaze is thick in the jar, vigorous stirring and shaking will increase fluidity. The amount of texture and cracking that is produced with these glazes is directly a result of how thick the glaze is applied. A thinner application will result in a smoother surface with very fine cracks. A thicker application will result in larger cracks and more tactile texture.

The glaze may be quite thick in consistency when first opened, due to its composition. Add water and stir until a brushable consistency is achieved. At least 3 layers should be applied to show results. Cracking should be visible after application when the glaze is dry, otherwise, more layers need to be applied. The piece should be handled gently after drying, as flakes can fall off. The glaze is almost non-flowing. This means that the first layer of glaze can be painted all the way to the edge, but for the following layers, leave a margin at the bottom of first 0.5 cm and then 1 cm. (1200°C - 1280°C) 473 ml. Above 1240°C, the appearance of the glaze changes.

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): White Mudcrack is a high-texture glaze that forms a raised, cracked surface. The thicker the application, the more textured the surface will be.

Cone 10 reduction (smaller image): Texture flattens, color remains white.
