Lilac - 1oz E-Z Stroke Under-Glaze
EZ112 Lilac
Dinnerware safe with clear
Cone 06: Lilac is a translucent underglaze suitable for use with a number of decorating techniques including airbrushing, antiquing and brushstrokes.
Cone 6: Lightens slightly. SW001 Stoneware Clear recommended.
Achieving the perfect look is easy with E-Z Stroke Under glazes! Their intense pigment allows for high definition and decoration on your pieces.
Create a watercolor effect with one simple stroke or add shading and depth with additional strokes.
E-Z Stroke Underglazes are ideal for airbrushing, antiquing and brushwork. They can be applied directly to greenware or bisque and layered over most underglazes, allowing the base-coat to show through. They are safe for serving food when coated with a food-safe clear glaze.
How to use E-Z Stroke Translucent Underglazes
1. Apply 1 coat for translucent designs to greenware, unfired glaze, soft-fired bisque or cone 04 bisque.
2. For rich depth and shading, apply additional coats.
3. Fire to shelf cone 04.
4. Apply Clear Glaze, stilt and fire to shelf cone 06.
5. Water clean-up.
Tips & Techniques
1. E-Z Stroke Underglazes may be applied over most underglazes, and other E-Z Stroke colors, allowing the base color to show through.
2. E-Z Stroke Underglazes work well with high fire, cone 5-6 and some to cone 10. As high results vary, we recommend firing a test piece.
3. For majolica, apply E-Z Stroke design work over unfired White Satin glaze.
4. As a pure pigment-based paint, E-Z Stroke Underglazes are the simplest form of fired color. You can use E-Z Stroke Underglazes just like watercolors, in layers of transparent/translucent, bold, pure color. And, just like watercolors, you can inter-mix all the E-Z Stroke colors. Just as for typical watercolors, these paints must be mixed with water to be applied properly to greenware or soft fired bisque for the best application. E-Z Stroke Underglazes are very fragile unfired, because when the water dries out of the pigment there are no binders holding it in place. E-Z Stroke Underglazes fires into the ware at an 04 or hotter cone, although most of the pigments will hold true up to a cone 10. This broad firing range allows artists to use E-Z Stroke Underglazes on almost all clay bodies
5. E-Z Stroke Underglazes are perfect for airbrushing.
6. Use E-Z Stroke Underglazes to tint clay slip, most glazes, fired Snow and other E-Z Stroke colors.
7. High definition and detail can be achieved by adding water to E-Z Stroke color and using a very fine brush.

Cloverfield - 4-oz Mayco Jungle Gem Crystal Glaze
CG1015 Cloverfield (4-ounce) Jungle Gem Crystal Glaze by Mayco Colors
Not dinnerware safe
Cone 06 oxidation: Matte bright/lime green with blue, green and yellow crystals of varying sizes
Cone 6 oxidation: Base becomes glossy and darkens; crystals fade and melt. Enhanced mobility. Surface issues may occur.
Cone 10 Oxidation: Base becomes glossy and darkens; crystals fade and melt. Enhanced mobility. Surface issues may occur.
Jungle Gems Crystal Glazes transform in the kiln when
the small pieces of glass frit burst into color and intricate patterns during
the firing process. Artists use these beautiful glazes to add dramatic,
colorful effects to their creations.
When Fired to Cone 6: Base glaze fades - crystals fade and melt. Enhanced mobility. Surface issues may occur.
Drama! Excitement!
These beautiful glazes transform in the kiln when small pieces of
glass burst into color and intricate pattern during the firing process.
Use alone for stunning effects, in glaze combination blending with Stroke
& Coats Foundations or Cobblestones or simply as an accent to your
design.
General Use
Crystal glazes were designed to mature at cone 06/05. Apply to
shelf cone 04 bisque. Shake jar well and stir during the application
process. Apply 3 coats with a fan brush, allowing to dry between coats.
Avoid placing crystals towards bottom of ware to keep them from
flowing onto the kiln shelf during firing. Crystal Glazes can be fired to
higher temperatures. Review individual color label for cone 6 firing
results. The crystals in the glaze will melt when fired, which may create
a textured surface. As that surface may be difficult to properly clean if
in contact with food, we recommend crystal glazes to be used on decorative
ware. Jungle Gems and Crystalite glazes are certified AP nontoxic, with
the exception of CG 707 Woodland Fantasy and CG 713 Peacock Green
which require a caution label, CL, due to soluble copper. Please refer to
label for specific information
Helpful Hints
·
Left-over crystals? Just add a complimentary Foundations glaze.
·
May use a complimentary Foundations as a base glaze in order to
make your crystals go further.
·
We recommend a soft fan brush, such as CB-604 #4 or CB-618 #8 Soft
Fan, for glaze application.
·
Stir frequently as crystals tend to settle in the jar due to their
weight.
·
Store upside down with lid on securely to allow easy mixing and
even dispersion of crystals.
·
As crystals tend to flow at higher temperatures, we recommend
limiting the number of crystals on bottom third of vertical piece to avoid
glaze running onto kiln shelf.
·
Re-distribution of crystals may be required during the final coat.
Where you see the crystal is where you will see it bloom.
Application Recommendations
The
following application recommendations are based upon the original
product development intent and use for the product. Information on
alternative application methods is listed in the section Usage Variations
and FAQ's
·
Shake well prior to each application coat. The reason for
this recommendation is that the crystals will settle to the bottom of
the jar in a short period of time. If you notice the crystals settling
during an application, you can either dip your brush to the bottom of the
jar to re-dispense or attach the lid and shake vigorously.
·
During the application of the third coat of glaze you may find it
necessary to re-distribute crystals, or add crystals, on your piece to
assure balanced coverage. Use your brush to push crystals onto thinly
covered areas or dip your brush into the jar and gather crystals onto it,
then "pat" them on the sparsely covered areas.
·
We recommend a broad, soft brush, such as a CB-604 #4 or
CB-618 #8 Soft Fan Brush, to apply crystal glazes. The fan brush may help
more in the even disbursement of the crystals, thus creating a more
pleasing pattern in the fired glaze.
·
Crystalite and Jungle Gems were designed to fire to cone 06.
Higher temperature firings will change the colors from cone 06 results and
movement and flow WILL increase.
Usage Variations & FAQs
Q: What advice to do have for firing Crystal glazes at higher
temperatures?
A: Crystal glazes, already prone to move,
will move much more at higher temperatures. The crystals will lose some
of their definition and act more as a blending agent. You'll want to be
careful about placing glaze too close to the bottom of your piece - in addition
to stilting you may want to put a tile or a piece of scrap bisque beneath the
piece to prevent glaze from running onto your kiln shelves.
Q: What are some of the ways I can use Crystal glazes in
my design work?
A: Simply apply the crystalites in the pattern
and apply as the above directions stated. Several rings of the Crystalites
placed in varied patterns are also attractive. Interesting patterns may be
obtained by placing several rings of crystals in a necklace-like placement
around the piece. The glaze may need to be strained in order to separate the
crystals for this procedure. The crystals are then applied using a brush or
small spoon in a linear necklace-like ring around the piece. This can be
several rings in sequential order or in a zigzag pattern to produce the most
pleasing effect.
Q: Your label states that Crystalites and Jungle Gems are
"Food Safe", yet you also include the statement "May not be
suitable for food surfaces due to surface characteristics?
A: Food Safety is determined by standards
established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ASTM method C-738
and C-927-80 are "leach tests"; the tests involve measuring the
chemical composition of an acidic food before exposure to a glazed surface and
the chemical composition after a several days. If the levels of glaze
materials found in the food are below the established limits, the glaze can be
marketed as "Food Safe." Glazes that create dimensional surfaces
also create crevices and nooks that can trap food - even after washing.
This food can develop bacterial growth and cause health issues. Our
policy is to discourage the use of textural glazes on ware that is intended for
food usage even though the glaze has met all food safety criteria.
Q: Can I mix leftover crystals into other glazes?
A: Yes. Foundations Sheers would be a good choice as these glazes will allow the crystals to expand much like the base glaze of Crystalites and Jungle Gems

Usage Variations & FAQs
Q: What advice to do have for firing Crystal glazes at higher
temperatures?
A: Crystal glazes, already prone to move,
will move much more at higher temperatures. The crystals will lose some
of their definition and act more as a blending agent. You'll want to be
careful about placing glaze too close to the bottom of your piece - in addition
to stilting you may want to put a tile or a piece of scrap bisque beneath the
piece to prevent glaze from running onto your kiln shelves.
Q: What are some of the ways I can use Crystal glazes in
my design work?
A: Simply apply the crystalites in the pattern
and apply as the above directions stated. Several rings of the Crystalites
placed in varied patterns are also attractive. Interesting patterns may be
obtained by placing several rings of crystals in a necklace-like placement
around the piece. The glaze may need to be strained in order to separate the
crystals for this procedure. The crystals are then applied using a brush or
small spoon in a linear necklace-like ring around the piece. This can be
several rings in sequential order or in a zigzag pattern to produce the most
pleasing effect.
Q: Your label states that Crystalites and Jungle Gems are
"Food Safe", yet you also include the statement "May not be
suitable for food surfaces due to surface characteristics?
A: Food Safety is determined by standards
established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ASTM method C-738
and C-927-80 are "leach tests"; the tests involve measuring the
chemical composition of an acidic food before exposure to a glazed surface and
the chemical composition after a several days. If the levels of glaze
materials found in the food are below the established limits, the glaze can be
marketed as "Food Safe." Glazes that create dimensional surfaces
also create crevices and nooks that can trap food - even after washing.
This food can develop bacterial growth and cause health issues. Our
policy is to discourage the use of textural glazes on ware that is intended for
food usage even though the glaze has met all food safety criteria.
Q: Can I mix leftover crystals into other glazes?
A: Yes. Foundations Sheers would be a good choice as these glazes will allow the crystals to expand much like the base glaze of Crystalites and Jungle Gems
Carrot - 1oz E-Z Stroke Under-Glaze
EZ108 Carrot EZ-Stroke by Duncan
Dinnerware safe with clear
Cone 06: Carrot is a translucent underglaze suitable for use with a number of decorating techniques including airbrushing, antiquing and brushstrokes.
Cone 6: No change. SW001 Stoneware Clear recommended
Achieving the perfect look is easy with E-Z Stroke Translucent Under glazes! Their intense pigment allows for high definition and decoration on your pieces.
Create a watercolor effect with one simple stroke or add shading and depth with additional strokes.
E-Z Stroke Underglazes are ideal for airbrushing, antiquing and brushwork. They can be applied directly to greenware or bisque and layered over most underglazes, allowing the base-coat to show through. They are safe for serving food when coated with a food-safe clear glaze.
How to use E-Z Stroke Translucent Underglazes
1. Apply 1 coat for translucent designs to greenware, unfired glaze, soft-fired bisque or cone 04 bisque.
2. For rich depth and shading, apply additional coats.
3. Fire to shelf cone 04.
4. Apply Clear Glaze, stilt and fire to shelf cone 06.
5. Water clean-up.
Tips & Techniques
1. E-Z Stroke Underglazes may be applied over most underglazes, and other E-Z Stroke colors, allowing the base color to show through.
2. E-Z Stroke Underglazes work well with high fire, cone 5-6 and some to cone 10. As high results vary, we recommend firing a test piece.
3. For majolica, apply E-Z Stroke design work over unfired White Satin glaze.
4. As a pure pigment-based paint, E-Z Stroke Underglazes are the simplest form of fired color. You can use E-Z Stroke Underglazes just like watercolors, in layers of transparent/translucent, bold, pure color. And, just like watercolors, you can inter-mix all the E-Z Stroke colors. Just as for typical watercolors, these paints must be mixed with water to be applied properly to greenware or soft fired bisque for the best application. E-Z Stroke Underglazes are very fragile unfired, because when the water dries out of the pigment there are no binders holding it in place. E-Z Stroke Underglazes fires into the ware at an 04 or hotter cone, although most of the pigments will hold true up to a cone 10. This broad firing range allows artists to use E-Z Stroke Underglazes on almost all clay bodies
5. E-Z Stroke Underglazes are perfect for airbrushing.
6. Use E-Z Stroke Underglazes to tint clay slip, most glazes, fired Snow and other E-Z Stroke colors.
7. High definition and detail can be achieved by adding water to E-Z Stroke color and using a very fine brush.

Usage Variations & FAQs
Q: What advice to do have for firing Crystal glazes at higher
temperatures?
A: Crystal glazes, already prone to move,
will move much more at higher temperatures. The crystals will lose some
of their definition and act more as a blending agent. You'll want to be
careful about placing glaze too close to the bottom of your piece - in addition
to stilting you may want to put a tile or a piece of scrap bisque beneath the
piece to prevent glaze from running onto your kiln shelves.
Q: What are some of the ways I can use Crystal glazes in
my design work?
A: Simply apply the crystalites in the pattern
and apply as the above directions stated. Several rings of the Crystalites
placed in varied patterns are also attractive. Interesting patterns may be
obtained by placing several rings of crystals in a necklace-like placement
around the piece. The glaze may need to be strained in order to separate the
crystals for this procedure. The crystals are then applied using a brush or
small spoon in a linear necklace-like ring around the piece. This can be
several rings in sequential order or in a zigzag pattern to produce the most
pleasing effect.
Q: Your label states that Crystalites and Jungle Gems are
"Food Safe", yet you also include the statement "May not be
suitable for food surfaces due to surface characteristics?
A: Food Safety is determined by standards
established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ASTM method C-738
and C-927-80 are "leach tests"; the tests involve measuring the
chemical composition of an acidic food before exposure to a glazed surface and
the chemical composition after a several days. If the levels of glaze
materials found in the food are below the established limits, the glaze can be
marketed as "Food Safe." Glazes that create dimensional surfaces
also create crevices and nooks that can trap food - even after washing.
This food can develop bacterial growth and cause health issues. Our
policy is to discourage the use of textural glazes on ware that is intended for
food usage even though the glaze has met all food safety criteria.
Q: Can I mix leftover crystals into other glazes?
A: Yes. Foundations Sheers would be a good choice as these glazes will allow the crystals to expand much like the base glaze of Crystalites and Jungle Gems

General Use
Crystal glazes were designed to mature at cone 06/05. Apply to
shelf cone 04 bisque. Shake jar well and stir during the application
process. Apply 3 coats with a fan brush, allowing to dry between coats.
Avoid placing crystals towards bottom of ware to keep them from
flowing onto the kiln shelf during firing. Crystal Glazes can be fired to
higher temperatures. Review individual color label for cone 6 firing
results. The crystals in the glaze will melt when fired, which may create
a textured surface. As that surface may be difficult to properly clean if
in contact with food, we recommend crystal glazes to be used on decorative
ware. Jungle Gems and Crystalite glazes are certified AP nontoxic, with
the exception of CG 707 Woodland Fantasy and CG 713 Peacock Green
which require a caution label, CL, due to soluble copper. Please refer to
label for specific information

A: Food Safety is determined by standards
established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ASTM method C-738
and C-927-80 are "leach tests"; the tests involve measuring the
chemical composition of an acidic food before exposure to a glazed surface and
the chemical composition after a several days. If the levels of glaze
materials found in the food are below the established limits, the glaze can be
marketed as "Food Safe." Glazes that create dimensional surfaces
also create crevices and nooks that can trap food - even after washing.
This food can develop bacterial growth and cause health issues. Our
policy is to discourage the use of textural glazes on ware that is intended for
food usage even though the glaze has met all food safety criteria.
Q: Can I mix leftover crystals into other glazes?
A: Yes. Foundations Sheers would be a good choice as these glazes will allow the crystals to expand much like the base glaze of Crystalites and Jungle Gems
Haystack - 16-oz Mayco Jungle Gem Crystal Glaze
CG1012 Haystack (Pint) Jungle Gem Crystal Glaze by Mayco Colors
Not dinnerware safe
Cone 06 oxidation: Matte pale yellow with tan and orange crystals
Cone 6 oxidation: Base becomes glossy but color remains; crystals fade and melt. Enhanced mobility. Surface issues may occur.
Cone 10 Oxidation: Base becomes glossy and color fades; crystals fade and melt. Enhanced mobility. Surface issues may occur.
Jungle Gems Crystal Glazes transform in the kiln when
the small pieces of glass frit burst into color and intricate patterns during
the firing process. Artists use these beautiful glazes to add dramatic,
colorful effects to their creations.
When Fired to Cone 6: Base glaze fades - crystals fade and melt. Enhanced mobility. Surface issues may occur.
Drama! Excitement!
These beautiful glazes transform in the kiln when small pieces of
glass burst into color and intricate pattern during the firing process.
Use alone for stunning effects, in glaze combination blending with Stroke
& Coats Foundations or Cobblestones or simply as an accent to your
design.
General Use
Crystal glazes were designed to mature at cone 06/05. Apply to
shelf cone 04 bisque. Shake jar well and stir during the application
process. Apply 3 coats with a fan brush, allowing to dry between coats.
Avoid placing crystals towards bottom of ware to keep them from
flowing onto the kiln shelf during firing. Crystal Glazes can be fired to
higher temperatures. Review individual color label for cone 6 firing
results. The crystals in the glaze will melt when fired, which may create
a textured surface. As that surface may be difficult to properly clean if
in contact with food, we recommend crystal glazes to be used on decorative
ware. Jungle Gems and Crystalite glazes are certified AP nontoxic, with
the exception of CG 707 Woodland Fantasy and CG 713 Peacock Green
which require a caution label, CL, due to soluble copper. Please refer to
label for specific information

May use a complimentary Foundations as a base glaze in order to
make your crystals go further.
·
We recommend a soft fan brush, such as CB-604 #4 or CB-618 #8 Soft
Fan, for glaze application.
·
Stir frequently as crystals tend to settle in the jar due to their
weight.
·
Store upside down with lid on securely to allow easy mixing and
even dispersion of crystals.
·
As crystals tend to flow at higher temperatures, we recommend
limiting the number of crystals on bottom third of vertical piece to avoid
glaze running onto kiln shelf.

Application Recommendations
The
following application recommendations are based upon the original
product development intent and use for the product. Information on
alternative application methods is listed in the section Usage Variations
and FAQ's
·
Shake well prior to each application coat. The reason for
this recommendation is that the crystals will settle to the bottom of
the jar in a short period of time. If you notice the crystals settling
during an application, you can either dip your brush to the bottom of the
jar to re-dispense or attach the lid and shake vigorously.
·
During the application of the third coat of glaze you may find it
necessary to re-distribute crystals, or add crystals, on your piece to
assure balanced coverage. Use your brush to push crystals onto thinly
covered areas or dip your brush into the jar and gather crystals onto it,
then "pat" them on the sparsely covered areas.
·
We recommend a broad, soft brush, such as a CB-604 #4 or
CB-618 #8 Soft Fan Brush, to apply crystal glazes. The fan brush may help
more in the even disbursement of the crystals, thus creating a more
pleasing pattern in the fired glaze.

Usage Variations & FAQs
Q: What advice to do have for firing Crystal glazes at higher
temperatures?
A: Crystal glazes, already prone to move,
will move much more at higher temperatures. The crystals will lose some
of their definition and act more as a blending agent. You'll want to be
careful about placing glaze too close to the bottom of your piece - in addition
to stilting you may want to put a tile or a piece of scrap bisque beneath the
piece to prevent glaze from running onto your kiln shelves.
Q: What are some of the ways I can use Crystal glazes in
my design work?
A: Simply apply the crystalites in the pattern
and apply as the above directions stated. Several rings of the Crystalites
placed in varied patterns are also attractive. Interesting patterns may be
obtained by placing several rings of crystals in a necklace-like placement
around the piece. The glaze may need to be strained in order to separate the
crystals for this procedure. The crystals are then applied using a brush or
small spoon in a linear necklace-like ring around the piece. This can be
several rings in sequential order or in a zigzag pattern to produce the most
pleasing effect.
Q: Your label states that Crystalites and Jungle Gems are
"Food Safe", yet you also include the statement "May not be

Fruity Freckles - 4oz Mayco Jungle Gem Crystal Glaze
CG-981 Fruity Freckles (4 ounce) Jungle Gem Crystal Glaze by Mayco Colors
Drama! Excitement!
These beautiful glazes transform in the kiln when small pieces of glass burst into color and intricate pattern during the firing process. Use alone for stunning effects, in glaze combination blending with Stroke & Coats®, Foundations® or Cobblestones or simply as an accent to your design.
General Use
Crystal glazes were designed to mature at cone 06/05. Apply to shelf cone 04 bisque. Shake jar well and stir during the application process. Apply 3 coats with a fan brush, allowing to dry between coats. Avoid placing crystals towards bottom of ware to keep them from flowing onto the kiln shelf during firing. Crystal Glazes can be fired to higher temperatures. Review individual color label for cone 6 firing results. The crystals in the glaze will melt when fired, which may create a textured surface. As that surface may be difficult to properly clean if in contact with food, we recommend crystal glazes to be used on decorative ware. Jungle Gems ⢠and Crystalites ⢠glazes are certified AP nontoxic, with the exception of CG 707 Woodland Fantasy and CG 713 Peacock Green which require a caution label, CL, due to soluble copper. Please refer to label for specific information
Helpful Hints
- Left-over crystals? Just add a complimentary Foundations® glaze.
- May use a complimentary Foundations® as a base glaze in order to make your crystals go further.
- We recommend a soft fan brush, such as CB-604 #4 or CB-618 #8 Soft Fan, for glaze application.
- Stir frequently as crystals tend to settle in the jar due to their weight.
- Store upside down with lid on securely to allow easy mixing and even dispersion of crystals.
- As crystals tend to flow at higher temperatures, we recommend limiting number of crystals on bottom third of vertical piece to avoid glaze running onto kiln shelf.
- Re-distribution of crystals may be required during the final coat. Where you see the crystal is where you will see it bloom.
Application Recommendations
The following application recommendations are based upon the original product development intent and use for the product. Information on alternative application methods is listed in the section "Usage Variations and FAQ's".
- Shake well prior to each application coat. The reason for this recommendation is that the crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar in a short period of time. If you notice the crystals settling during an application you can either dip your brush to the bottom of the jar to re-dispense or attach the lid and shake vigorously.
- During the application of the third coat of glaze you may find it necessary to re-distribute crystals, or add crystals, on your piece to assure balanced coverage. Use your brush to push crystals onto thinly covered areas or dip your brush into the jar and gather crystals onto it, then "pat" them on the sparsely covered areas.
- We recommend a broad, soft brush, such as a CB-604 #4 or CB-618 #8 Soft Fan Brush, to apply crystal glazes. The fan brush may help more in the even disbursement of the crystals, thus creating a more pleasing pattern in the fired glaze.
- Crystalites⢠and Jungle Gems⢠were designed to fire to cone 06. Higher temperature firings will change the colors from cone 06 results and movement and flow WILL increase.
Usage Variations & FAQs
Q: What advice to do have for firing Crystal glazes at higher temperatures?
A: Crystal glazes, already prone to move, will move that much more at higher temperatures. The crystals will lose some of their definition and act more as a blending agent. You'll wan to be careful about placing glaze too close to the bottom of your piece - in addition to stilting you may want to put a tile or a piece of scrap bisque beneath the piece to prevent glaze from running onto your kiln shelves.
Q: What are some of the ways I can use Crystal glazes in my design work?
A: Simply apply the crystalites in the pattern and apply as the above directions stated. Several rings of the Crystalites placed in varied patterns are also attractive. Interesting patterns may be obtained by placing several rings of crystals in a necklace-like placement around the piece. The glaze may need to be strained in order to separate the crystals for this procedure. The crystals are then applied using a brush or small spoon in a linear necklace-like ring around the piece. This can be several rings in sequential order or in a zigzag pattern to produce the most pleasing effect.
Q: Your label states that Crystalites⢠and Jungle Gemsâ¢are "Food Safe", yet you also include the statement "May not be suitable for food surfaces due to surface characteristics"?
A: Food Safety is determined by standards established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ASTM method C-738 and C-927-80 are "leach tests"; the tests involve measuring the chemical composition of an acidic food before exposure to a glazed surface and the chemical composition after a several days. If the levels of glaze materials found in the food are below the established limits, the glaze can be marketed as "Food Safe." Glazes that create dimensional surfaces also create crevices and nooks that can trap food - even after washing. This food can develop bacterial growth and cause health issues. Our policy is to discourage the use of textural glazes on ware that is intended for food usage even though the glaze has met all food safety criteria.
Q: Can I mix leftover crystals into other glazes?
A: Yes. Foundations® Sheers would be a good choice as these glazes will allow the crystals to expand much like the base glaze of Crystalites⢠and Jungle Gemsâ¢.

Glazes that create dimensional surfaces also create crevices and nooks that can trap food - even after washing. This food can develop bacterial growth and cause health issues. Our policy is to discourage the use of textural glazes on ware that is intended for food usage even though the glaze has met all food safety criteria.
Q: Can I mix leftover crystals into other glazes?
A: Yes. Foundations® Sheers would be a good choice as these glazes will allow the crystals to expand much like the base glaze of Crystalites⢠and Jungle Gemsâ¢.
