Gold Glaze for Ceramic Pottery Bisque,PCG01,16fl oz/473ml

Great colour, apply 4 coats, I have fired it at 1220°C in community kiln

Worked well for me! I've only tried it on a small section and applied a thick coating as recommended but I really like the colour 🌟

Beautiful glaze

Pros: Well packaged Big bottle Applies nicely Fires well at cone 7/ 1250°C Gold is beautiful when it works Much cheaper than a lustre and doesn't require a separate firing Doesn't appear to run Cons: Takes at least 4 coats for gold to come through instead of brown. Overview: The piece I applied this to was VERY fiddly. I am fairly sure it had at least 4 coats on the main body, but it's come out brown. Because the piece is round, it was quite difficult to note where I had started/ finished the last coat. I also have a rubbish visual memory so couldn't recall where I had started each time! There was no distinction in the colour between coats, probably particularly as it's a dark brown going on and because it was the inside of the piece I was doing, which was also awkward and restrictive. Those are user error factors, rather than the glaze. It was nice to apply, but the brush got quite sticky regularly, so needed to keep it rinsed out so as not to end up with dry glaze going on and dragging. At the junctions of internal corners, the potential gold lustre is evident, which tells me that on a more simple piece, where application is straightforward, you could get a really lovely finish with this, but I just haven’t achieved it with this one. I'm going to try a different piece next, to see if I get the results I hope for, and I'll update the rating at that point. At this price point, I think it's definitely worth a try. It's cheaper than lustre and the additional firing cost, even if you require several coats. I used it on buff stoneware fired to 1250°C.

Absolutely god awful glaze. Applies like week old dog crap to a piece of paper. Cracks and flakes whilst drying, stains everything it touches because that much dusty residue comes off it. Can't even get it in the kiln because it comes off the bisque wear so much that you never actually have a fully covered piece. Best suited to those that like wasting their money!

I use earthenware so low fibre and this come out as metallic pewter. Still like it but not gold. Thjnk it needs a stoneware firing yo be more gold.

Really good colour. Goes on nice and smoothly. Fires with no bubbles, or mishaps

Absolutely great glaze!
