Sahara Glazes
Cone 5-6. Sahara Glazes
are compounded to match porcelain and stoneware bodies. Matt and
textured glazes suitable for stoneware and transparent gloss glazes for
translucent porcelain are included in this series.
Sahara Glazes work well and produce interesting effects when fired in
reduction as well as in oxidation (reduction firing not recommended for
HF-26).
Sahara High Fire Glazes are ready-to-use. Although these glazes may be
applied on bone dry greenware for single firing, it is easier to apply
them on low fire bisque. HF-26 and HF-32 should be applied thicker than
other glazes in this series. HF-36 should be fired to Cone 4 (2161°F,
1183°C) to obtain texture. For best results: if brushed they will need
three coats. Then clay and glaze may be matured at the same time, at the
recommended firing temperature of Cone 5 (2205°F, 1207°C).
A zinc-free, clear, transparent high fire glaze (HF-9) is also
available. Because the presence of zinc in a glaze formula may change
the appearance of certain colors (green, black, gray, etc.), a zinc-free
clear is very important for application over underglaze decoration. When
used under HF-9 Zinc-Free Clear, colors will fire true. Any variation in
color intensity of the underglazes will then depend on the individual
color stability at Cone 5. Firing range is from Cone 4 (2161°F, 1183°C)
to Cone 6 (2269°F, 1243°C).
