Cone 6 oxidation: Melt Gloop is a stoneware glaze designed for application in dots or creating a dripping effect down your ceramic piece.
Cone 10 reduction: Increased movement and texture.
Tips for Use:
- Effects are achieved by applying glaze with a syringe or squeeze bottle on greenware or soft-fired, cone 04 stoneware bisque (1940°F/1060°C).
- For a more dynamic effect and a dripping appearance, apply larger dots on a vertical surface.
- The glaze can flow over textured areas.
- For better adhesion, dampen the bisque with a sponge before applying.
- Heavy application or over-handling may cause the glaze to pop off. Handle with care.
- Can be layered and marbled with other Melt Gloop colors.
- When using Melt Gloop over a Stoneware Engobe or Underglaze, it is recommended to bisque fire to cone 04 before applying Melt Gloop.
- Glaze remains dimensional over Underglazes and Stoneware Engobes; flattens under or over a glaze.
- It is recommended to fire your piece as soon as possible to prevent issues with glaze adhesion.
- When applied as a horizontal line, the fired glaze effect may separate or break, turning into vertical drips.
- When building layers, it is recommended to apply glaze on the shoulder or rim of the piece to help with adhesion.
