Mix well before using for at least 1-2 minutes. Our glazes are ready to apply with a brush but can thinned for dipping with our MixMaster glaze liquid.
Apply 3 coats of glaze to fired bisque. Make sure glaze is dry before applying the next coat.
When ready, fire to cones 5 or 6. Cone 6 will bring out more vivid results.
Wax Resists
Our wax resist is ready to use right out of the jar. Liquid wax resist is an emulsified wax used to “resist” the application of glaze and underglaze on greenware (unfired) and bisque fired ceramics.
Painting wax resist onto the bottoms of your bisqued pieces will help keep your glaze from adhering to them.
Wax creates a barrier and blocks the glaze from soaking into the pot.
With a clean brush, apply Penguin Pottery wax to the bottom of your pots or wherever you don’t want glaze. Let dry for a few seconds and then apply your glaze either by dipping, brushing or spraying (touch up any areas or wipe away any bits of unwanted glaze before firing).
Wax resist burns off in the kiln. Once a coat of wax resist is applied, it can only be removed by firing in a kiln. Clean your brush with warm water.
Kiln Wash
Mix well before using. Kiln wash contents will settle (if you purchased our dry kiln wash, make sure to add water). That's normal! Just like house paints, kiln wash needs to be fully mixed to ensure smooth consistency.
We recommend mixing well for at least 1-2 minutes. Once mixed, apply several thin coats to the top layer of your shelves, letting it dry thoroughly in between each coat. Use a brush, roller, or even a sprayer.
Ideally, you should first bisque fire your kiln shelves before firing your pots on them.
Important: do not apply to fiber-based or silicon carbide shelves.
