CR-61 is coated with a bright yellow glaze dotted with tiny black dots. When fired, it also “fractures” and coalesces, creating bumps of irregular size and shape. This results in a natural surface pattern that varies from piece to piece, adding both tactile prominence and visual interest.
How to use
- Apply 1–4 coats of glaze on the bisque fired at Cone 04 temperature.
- Wait for each layer to dry almost completely, but not too much to crack.
- Crawl type coatings will develop small cracks as they dry, so handle the workpiece with care.
- For greater durability, it can be applied over AMACO Celadon glaze or underglaze before firing.
The results obtained
- Applying multiple coats will result in larger coating spots and more cracks.
- Applying a thin layer will give you fine, bead-like particles.
- It is best to burn at Cone 5–6 for best results.
*It is a product that is safe for food contact.
Additional instructions
As raw materials may vary from production lot to production lot, it is recommended to test burn on test sheet before actual use every time.
