Product Information

Liquid brush-on ml, powder kg.

The appropriately named Cola, dark with undertones of a red, much like an oxblood. It has a glossy surface but because of the colouring the crazing which is present will not obvious. The crazing will happen when taken from the kiln. Carbon will accentuate the fissures making distinctive black lines.

Firing and Working Notes

Firing Range:

Use our Vitraclay Raku Clay or Sibelco White Hand Building Clay and bisque to 1000°C or 1100°C (Cone 06 to Cone 03).

Glaze fire 950°C to 1000°C (Cone 08 to Cone 06).

Samples shown on our Vitraclay Raku fired bisque at 1000°C in an oxidising (electric) kiln. When the glaze was applied it was then reheated in an oxidising (electric) kiln to 950°C then transferred to a reduction environment.

Recommended for any Raku clay bodies.

Working Notes:

  • Be generous with the covering of the glaze
  • Experiment with different combustible organic materials.

This glaze is unlikely to be safe for dinner/tableware. To be certain, you will need to submit your wares for testing at a reputable laboratory. In the UK, the emphasis in law is to the ‘maker’ who takes responsibility for the food/dinner safety of a glazed or unglazed ceramic ware.

Health & Safety

Lead Free.

Refer to each SDS below for the individual hazards of each glaze.

General Advice:

When handled sensibly, a 'brush-on' glaze presents no serious health issues, but to be safe, do not ingest the liquid and avoid contact with your skin and eyes.

A powder or dried brush-on glaze presents a hazard. It may contain crystalline silica and other materials, which, when inhaled, can cause long-term damage to the lungs or other health problems. We suggest when working with powders or when cleaning, wear an FFP3/P3 mask and filter and use a wet sponge.
