Elephant Ears SC-090

FIRING

• Broad firing range from cone 06 (999°C) - cone 10 (1,305°C). Most will maintain their colour at higher temperatures. Performance at cone 6 is noted on each individual bottle. Some may blur when used in designs at mid range or high fire. We recommend testing on your clay and in your kiln prior to use.
• Food safe when fired correctly. 
• Fires to a gloss finish without the need for clear glaze. Clear glaze can be added if additional glossiness is desired, or if Stroke & Coat has not been applied consistently to achieve overall coverage. Adding clear glaze to cone 5 and higher can affect the colour outcome and may cause designs to move and blur. 

APPLICATION

• Can be applied on wet clay, greenware or bisque.
• Can be applied with a brush, a sponge, a detailer bottle, mats, or silkscreens.
• One coat of will create a translucent finish, with subsequent coats adding opacity.
• Use 2-3 coats for full opacity and all over coverage. Let dry between coats.
• Lighter colours can be used over dark colours, remaining bright and opaque, and will not blend with the colours underneath.
• At low-fire (including majolica techniques), glazes will not move or blend when used with other glazes. You can apply side-by-side or layer without losing the integrity of the design.
• For a more painterly approach, dilute glazes with water to create a thinned watercolour-like glaze. Use these tints to layer for seamless blending. 
• Can be layered with other glazes to create unique effects.
• Suitable for a wide range of design techniques including sgraffito, stamping, slip trailing, marbling, majolica, and more.
• If you apply one coat of Stroke & Coat on top of a matte glaze, the Stroke & Coat will fire matte. By applying 2-3 coats, the Stroke & Coat will fire glossy.

Note: Tiles shown are fired flat on a white clay body fired to cone 06 / 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
