SP219 - Orange Rust
FIRING RANGE CONE 4 - 6
Discontinued
Mid-range glazes, such as this, should be used on mid-range clay (meant to be fired to cone 4 - 6).
To apply: Always mix first before each use! Then brush or dip onto bisque-fired pottery (pottery that has been fired to cone 08 - 06).
If brushing, apply three layers, alternating the direction of the brush strokes with each layer to create a smooth finish. Let dry completely between each coat (until it completely loses its sheen), but do not over-dry or the glaze may crawl.
If dipping, dip and hold in the glaze, then remove from the glaze and shake off the excess. The amount of time you hold the piece in the glaze will dictate the thickness of the coat. We recommend 1 dip. A second layer can be applied, but more layers can result in the glaze running off the pot. Let dry until it loses its sheen between each coat if you are adding additional coats.
If the consistency seems thick, first mix thoroughly. If it still seems thick, add water SPARINGLY to thin it down. If too thin, leave the container open to let some of the moisture evaporate.
Note that mixing glazes together or applying one on top of the other may cause the glazes to react differently than you expect. We recommend that you always test a new glaze combination and clay/glaze combination to see how it performs.

Questions & Answers

Is Orange rust a food safe glaze?
Unless otherwise stated in the description, our in house glazes are food safe when properly applied and fired. Always check for pin holing, crazing, bloating, glaze thickness, etc. -
Do you have any example images of what this glaze looks like? If not, can you try to describe what type of orange this comes out to on white vs a more tan/speckled clay body? Thanks
We have a tile in store where all the discontinued glazes are, if you are local and able to come look. The test tile is more of a nude tone than an actual orange.
