These glazes produce more striking results due to their compositions, the method of firing and then reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAPPLICATION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGenerally 2, 3 or 4 coats maybe applied to bisque. The number of coats applied will affect the final result as will the firing and then the eventual reduction in foreign matter like saw dust, leaves etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOnce applied and dry, the glazed piece maybe fired in either electric or gas kiln. Once the kiln reaches temperature and is off, the kiln is open while red hot and the piece transferred to a metal container with a lid that is lined with organic material, like saw dust, leaves etc. The piece is put in to the container and the lid put on to create the reduction atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn the metal container, flames will develop and a lot of smoke will follow. The flames will cease soon after the lid is put on the container and the piece should be allowed to rest there until it cools down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOnce cool, it can removed from the container and should be scraped with a soft metal brush to remove any excess material from the firing then washed in cold water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePHYSICAL DATA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Raku Glazes have been specifically formulated for application to bisque fired clays. The Raku Glazes should be fired between cone 010 (894°C) and cone 06 (999°C).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSAFETY DATA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eChrysanthos Raku Glazes are all lead free. However, caution should be exercised in using the Raku glazes however as they all have warning labels due to the levels of copper or other elements in high enough concentrations exceeding threshold limits to render them harmful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen working with Raku Glazes, it is important to use personal protection like fire proof gloves, face mask and overalls.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chrysanthos","offers":[{"title":"4.7 fl oz","offer_id":46598625165544,"sku":"CHR RG63-4","price":1.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 fl oz","offer_id":46598625198312,"sku":"CHR RG63-16","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2430\/4931\/files\/Phoebe063.webp?v=1723066558","url":"https:\/\/diamondcoretools.sbs\/products\/chrysanthos-glaze-rg063-raku-phoebe","provider":"DiamondCore Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
