These crystals are very versatile and can be used successfully from cone 06 to cone 6. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey can be used with any glaze in this firing range to produce a great variety of different appearances. They can also be intermixed. Many beautiful combinations of two or more colored crystals on your choice of glaze background can be used. Please be aware that, due to varying expansion coefficients, some of these crystals may cause crazing on some glazes, particularly at stoneware temperatures. Please test for suitability in your application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eOne method of applying the crystals is to drop them onto the final coat of glaze while the surface is still wet allowing the crystals to stick to the glaze. If the glaze dries out before all the crystals are applied try spraying a little water on the glaze surface to help the crystals stick to it. In this way you can position the crystals where you want them on the piece. Alternatively, you can try sprinkling some of the crystals onto a piece of paper and then dabbing your brush, already loaded with glaze, into the crystals as you are applying the final coat of glaze. However, be aware that these crystals will run a lot when fired up to cone 5 or 6 and should not be applied near the bottom of the piece for stoneware firings. This is not of concern at cone 06 or 05 as they will not move and spread nearly as much at lower temperatures. These crystals can also be mixed into a liquid glaze to be brushed on. However, one of the reasons that we decided not to prepare pre-mixed crystal glazes is that the crystals are large and heavy and tend to settle to the bottom of the container. Therefore, you will need to stir the glaze frequently if you choose to mix the crystals into a glaze.","brand":"Spectrum Pottery Glazes","offers":[{"title":"Cr01 Cobalt Blue","offer_id":47826945376578,"sku":"SPCR01","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cr02 White","offer_id":47826945409346,"sku":"SPCR02","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cr03 Yellow","offer_id":47826945442114,"sku":"SPCR03","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cr04 Dark Brown","offer_id":47826945474882,"sku":"SPCR04","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cr05 Reactive Brown","offer_id":47826945507650,"sku":"SPCR05","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cr06 Green","offer_id":47826945540418,"sku":"SPCR06","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cr07 Maroon","offer_id":47826945573186,"sku":"SPCR07","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cr08 Reactive Blue","offer_id":47826945605954,"sku":"SPCR08","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cr09 Reactive Green","offer_id":47826945638722,"sku":"SPCR09","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cr10 Pewter","offer_id":47826945671490,"sku":"SPCR10","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cr11 Gold","offer_id":47826945704258,"sku":"SPCR11","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cr12 Clear","offer_id":47826945737026,"sku":"SPCR12","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/5508\/2050\/files\/white-SPCR00-2.jpg?v=1698156055"},{"product_id":"spectrum-glazes-base-glazes-pint","title":"Spectrum Glazes: Base Glazes (Pint)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSpectrum Glazes: Base Glazes\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpectrum Glazes: Base Glazes for Making your own Underglaze and Overglaze.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdd stains to these to create your own unique colors !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpectrum glaze Base is formulated as a base media for preparing your glazes colors similar to our 500 series underglazes. The Underglaze Base has some frit in it, which acts as a flux to help the stain be a compatible fit with either greenware or bisque. It also has various additives, which keep the frit and stain suspended and makes it brush on smooth and easy. It is lead free, non-toxic and dinnerware safe when covered by a dinnerware safe clear glaze. In order to achieve an underglaze of a strength similar to our 500 series Underglazes we recommend that you mix 1 part of dry powder ceramic stain to 2 parts wet underglaze base by weight. This recommendation is only a general guideline as the strengths of different color stains vary and you should test colors, particularly the first time you mix them, to determine the correct strength for your application.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spectrum Pottery Glazes","offers":[{"title":"1050 UNDERGLAZE BASE","offer_id":47826271764802,"sku":"SP1050","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1060 OVERGLAZE BASE","offer_id":47826271797570,"sku":"SP1060","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1070 BRUSHING MEDIA","offer_id":47826271830338,"sku":"SP1070P","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1071 GLAZE SUSPENDER","offer_id":47826271863106,"sku":"SP1071P","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1072 GLAZE THINNER","offer_id":47826271895874,"sku":"SP1072P","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1074 MENDING PASTE","offer_id":47826271928642,"sku":"SP1074","price":11.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/5508\/2050\/files\/spectrum.jpg?v=1708349602"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/5508\/2050\/collections\/white-SPCR00-2.jpg?v=1786637857","url":"https:\/\/www.sheffield-pottery.live\/collections\/spectrum-glaze-additives-suspender-thinner-brushing-media.oembed","provider":"Sheffield Pottery Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
