Glaze PK 223, Santa Lucia (1020-1080°C)

Powdered effect glaze intended for the own preparation of the glazing suspension. This glaze is recommended to be applied in a layer according to the specification below. The glaze is lead-free, does not contain hazardous substances and is suitable for use in hobby organizations and school workshops.

The recommended firing range for PK effect glazes is 1020 - 1080°C, and they can usually be fired up to 1150°C without problems. However, temperatures above 1100°C usually result in a change of colour shade. The glazing slurry is mixed to a density according to the chosen application technique and the absorption of the bisque. Typically, 0,6 – 0,8 l of water is added per 1 kg of glaze powder. Dust may be released when handling dry glaze, protect the airways. It is recommended to prepare the suspension at least one day before glazing, use anti-sedimentation additives as required. Mix the glaze well before using it. Some PK glazes contain small effect particles and therefore cannot be sieved or spray applied. Follow the information on the label of the particular glaze.

PK powder glazes are packed in 1 kg bags in transparent PE bags. The packaging is labelled with the recommended procedure individually for each glaze. Powder glazes do not have a limited shelf life, store them indoors and protect them from moisture.
