Description
Cerco ^5/6 Crystal Glaze: Bodrum 118ml
Product Code: SP 1565 – Bodrum
Category: Crystal Glazes
Recommended Firing Range: 1200–1220°C
Form: Supplied in liquid form in 175 g, 500 g, and 1000 g packages.Product Features
- The glaze has a clear dark blue base tone. Surface shows navy blue crystals.
- The glaze is transparent; crystal particles are opaque.
- Base remains glossy; crystal areas may appear matte.
- Highly fluid glaze; controlled application is recommended.
- High risk of glaze cracking.
- Free of toxic substances.
Note: Acid resistance in crystal glazes depends on the density and distribution of surface crystals. Fully dense coverage reduces acid resistance, while balanced crystal distribution preserves glass structure and improves chemical durability. Chemical resistance is therefore closely tied to the surface glaze structure and the user’s production process.
Application Methods
Important: To support crystal formation, both thin and thick applications should be used on the same surface. Excessive thickness across the entire surface can cause dense crystals to merge, fully covering the surface and producing a matte, slightly rough “crystal matte” appearance. Very thin coverage may result in weak crystal growth.
- On vertical surfaces, apply thicker layers on higher areas, thinning downward.
- On horizontal surfaces, alternating thin–thick areas help crystals distribute evenly.
- Each product develops a unique crystal pattern using this approach.
- Crystal glazes perform best with spray (pistol) or dipping methods.
- Brush applications: 1–3 coats on the same surface.
- Spray or dipping: add approximately 5–30% water to adjust density.
- Recommended Baumé range: 45–55.
Testing Recommendation
- First-time users should prepare test tiles under their own kiln conditions and application methods, both vertical and horizontal.
- In the product image, the glaze was applied on BNC 1200 white porcelain clay. Its transparent nature may produce different effects on colored clays.
- When combining with other artistic glazes, testing is recommended to avoid defects.
Care and Cleaning
- Dishwasher use may expose the glaze to high-temperature chemical solutions, potentially causing matting or changes in artistic effects.
Safety
- Personal protective equipment is recommended during application.
- Keep glazes away from fire and open flames during use.
- Children should apply under supervision.
Storage
- Store in airtight conditions, away from direct sunlight.
- If stored for long periods, the glaze may begin to dry; add water, mix thoroughly, and sieve before use.
- After opening, over time, brushing agents, stabilizers, and antibacterial additives may lose effectiveness. This usually does not affect firing results but may influence application performance (harder application or pre-firing surface cracking). Contact us for recommendations if this occurs.
