Texturizers: Lead Free

Sample of texturizer on bottles

High Fire
GLAMTH1-sample.gif (128223 bytes)
TH-1 is a rutile base texturizer. In superposition with other glazes it tends to produce a yellowish/orange crystal-type texture.  It will yield excellent results with most AMACO HF Series glazes, or other glazes which are fired at Cone 4-6, when applied over or under the glazes.  As results vary from glaze to glaze, be sure to fire a test sample first

Low Fire
GLAMTL1-sample.gif (18033 bytes)

Apply TL-1 Texturizer over any Cone 06-05 glaze to create different textures.  Surface textures vary depending on the type of base glaze (gloss, matte, or textured), increasing the glaze palette tremendously.  An even wider variety of effects can be achieved by applying TL-1 between coats of two different glazes.

Additives

CHGNSODSIL-P.jpg (100983 bytes) Sodium Silicate,  pint
Liquid "N" brand Sodium Silicate is used as a major deflucculant in preparing slip.  It reduces the amount of water needed, therefore reducing shrinkage.  This is a pure sodium silicate and must be mixed with water to a 50/50 solution for most casting bodies.

$5.50

CHGNDARVAN-P.jpg (83482 bytes) Darvan 7,  pint
A deflocculant that is user friendly because it has a wide deflocculation curve.  Does not deteriorate molds as actively as sodium silicate.

Gum solution that can be added to any glaze or underglaze to improve brushing characteristics.  Lengthens the drying time after the glaze is brushed on, and assists in glaze suspension.  Can be used to convert a dipping or spraying glaze into a brushing glaze.  A rough guideline is to add 5-10% of the glaze volume.

Spectrum Glaze Suspender - 1071:
