Cone 06-05. Magic flow glazes are a special series, which
imitates the effect of Cone 10 reduction ash glazes. Its advantages
are in the fact that it is fired only to Cone 06-05 in an electric kiln
oxidation, avoiding the use of toxic ingredients and the requirement of
high temperature firing. The clay on which it is used affects the
unique wiggly flow of these glazes.
For best results use a Talc
containing clay. You can also get excellent results on slip cast
items. On non-talc bodies the wiggly effects will not show as
prominently but will smooth out and flow more in a straight line.
Both effects can be very attractive. Best application is by brushing
so you can taper down towards the bottom of the piece. Apply two
coats all the way to the bottom of the piece and the third coat only to
the upper half. Fire with a dry foot on a kiln shelf that has has
been well coated with kiln wash. Use stilts, especially in the
beginning until you get used to how the glaze flows.
All lead free. All AP-Non Toxic except MF26, 40 and 42 which are
Caution Label (CL). None are dinnerware safe.
