Gold Glaze

You definitely need four coats and high fire and it’s absolutely stunning!UPDATE AFTER LEAVING MY GLAZE SITTING FOR POSSIBLY TWO MONTHS WHEN I OPENED IT UP IT WAS SOLID EXCEPT FOR A LAYER ON TOP. NOW TRYING TO GET IT MIXED IS A TOP THAT I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF I CAN DO. WHAT A MESS. TOO BAD BECAUSE THE PRODUCT IS WONDERFUL EXCEPT FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING I RECOMMEND IS JUST STIRRING IT OR PLACING IT UPSIDE DOWN EVERY SO OFTEN. DON’T JUST LET IT SIT THERE AND FORGET ABOUT IT. TO ME IT REMINDS ME OF BREAST-FEEDING A CHILD THAT CONSTANTLY NEEDS NURTURING.

Tried once.LOVE! This is a flat lip of a vase that I'm showing in my picture and although you can't see inside the glaze didn't really run down and pool a lot.I had read what a lot of other users had indicated in some of the glazing groups that I belong to and the discussion was between 4:00 and six codes. I put this glaze on the inside and the edge of this tiny vase though I did do 4 coats inside, and 6 thin coats on rim.It is a very medium thin glaze that goes on nicely. And frankly I am out of my mind happy with the color.My next piece I'm going to redux coats to 5 light coats and see how that works because people said they were fine with only 4, some said 6--- So you know it all depends on the user how this will work for youI decided to try the highest level first. I don't think six is necessary.Of course this glaze is cheaper than other most known brands and yet it isn't cheaper when you consider extra coats. So you'd have to figure it out for yourself with the color is worth it..I don't use gold a lot however this is going to be just an exquisite touch to certain pieces.

Due to the great reviews, I ordered the gold for a piece I was working on for a client. After waiting for a month for the order to be fulfilled, unfortunately, the glaze arrived as a giant somewhat dried out clump in the middle of the jar with translucent water all around it. Horrible quality control. I tried for over an hour to mix it in and blend it together. I ended up still with the clump in the middle and what looked like lumpy oatmeal surrounding it. This glaze was unusable and would not adhere to the bisque. The client was in a time crunch, and so I did not have time to go out and buy another gold or to exchange this. I tried a different glaze that I had on hand, but this caused a great disappointment for the client and I ended up having to keep the piece myself. Not happy.

This is great! They dont sell on the main pottery websites but this is quickly becoming the secret sauce for many potters. 4 coats at a hot ^6 gives a super shiney gold, ^5 is gold, but less shiney. Doesn't run, but looses all shine if layed. Really nice on texture too. Photo is ^6+ laguna bmix.

It's pretty. I'd call it bronze, not gold tho.

I’m giving it five stars for the color but I just want to discuss a couple of things that I am noticing other reviewers not saying I fired mine to cone six 2232°F over a 12 hour period. I poured this glaze on, and I do enjoy the gold look, but the glaze does run quite a bit (if thick). You can see the difference between the application of the bisque test tile and the finished glaze result, the glaze ran all the way down; but the color is really nice. It has a texture like when you get milk skin forming on top of a pot of boiling milk (it has texture unless fired flat where it’s then very smooth).

When I bought this a year ago it worked great, but the last two bottle I’ve gotten have had terrible crazing despite doing 8 different test tiles with different applications. There’s no getting it right- you either get a good batch that’s worth its weight in gold or you get a crummy batch that’s worth will flake off and ruin your piece. Avoid it is my ten cents or if you must use it test it first. No glaze should be this finicky and paddler needs to work in their quality control

This turned out to be a great glaze. I am taking a pretty class so when my teacher saw what I was using, she was interested in what it would do. Made a trinket box for granddaughter and used this glaze. My teenage granddaughter was thrilled. Very pleased.

This glaze IS like liquid gold, and it's becoming more precious than real gold. It is NOT a gold overglaze luster. It will not do fancy writing on top of another glaze, and it won't make a pretty gold rim, but it WILL turn out pretty much like the test tile in the photo. It fires great at Cone 6. It doesn't run on its own, but it WILL run like the dickens if it so much as breathes near another glaze. So, be aware of that. It is fabulous, and worth the $$.

Didn’t come out of the kiln golden….unfortunately didn’t fire to a high enough temp

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

I'm happy with this gold glaze. After applying four coats, the finish came out beautifully vibrant. It has a true gold tone, not too yellow or brassy and gives a luxurious, metallic sheen that's perfect for accent work or full coverage. The consistency was smooth and easy to apply in layers, and it fired evenly with excellent results. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a deep, authentic gold finish on your ceramics.

Didn''t live up to expectations in the kin but if you want a bronze colour its ok
