It's actually good that you can control it by making it thin-thick application. If you want that satiny bronze-ish look instead of shiny gold

This kind of video is very interesting❤, looking forward to the glazing skills of pc-4

I only use Gold or Platinum for accents on my works. As lim or lines..perhaps images...etc.

Hi Thanks for the video. I am a student potter and the ceramic Tech for a community art centre. I made a full bust of C3PO. I want to use this glaze. We have a slow cooling cone 6 firing. Will the glaze work with a slow cool down? thanks Dennis

After watching this I'm thinking I'm not putting nearly enough glaze on my bisqueware 😮😂

It's a common issue for those new to brushing glazes to not get a thick enough application.

Helps to buy those super thick fan brushes that can hold a lot of glaze... the M**co ones are good

Thanks for the tutorial. My question is if I’m applying let’s say a Smokey merlot in a pot with three coats and want to layer it with temmoku do I apply 3 applications as well for the temmoku or is that too much? This is my first time glazing so I don’t have a point of reference of what is too much. Thank you again!!

It depends on how heavy you apply glaze. Most beginners tend to apply very light coats, so 3 might work, but I generally do 2 coats over 2 coats when layering PC glazes. I recommend you make a small test piece or test tile to find the best application for you. ~Cara

Can a clear be put over to protect from acid? I would like to put on a mug appliqué.

Hi i have problems getting this to come out nicely on cone 5 laguna buff sculpture clay….. is there a way to get it to work on a rougher grogged sculpture clay? I tried a coat of white underglaze over the clay to make a smoother whiter iron free surface before putting on the glaze, that didn’t seem to help…. Does it work a lot differently on different clays? I read some people put a gloss coat of clear cone five, fire it and then glaze over the fired glass glaze with the saturation gold….. i need to use the sculpture clay for my larger sculptures 30”

What is the best firing schedule to fire PC glazes to cone 5?

@AMACOBrent

Hi there, we use a select fire electric controller that has the firing schedule programmed automatically. We fire ours on a medium speed.

To achieve the gold result, I usually apply at least 6 coats and fire in cone 6. But recently, some parts are burnt like volcano and after serving food and washed by detergent, the gold colour seems somewhat faded out....is it normal? Do the gold colour last? Even after used and washed?

The gold color should last, but it can be affected by acids in foods and detergents. ~Cara

Hi, based the piece you showed, I think The PC02 Saturation Gold has a great antiquey effect. Can this be used with other glaze colors brushed over it and hold the color? or combined with shinos? thanks for thoughts.

​PC-2 Saturation Gold will change appearance when layered, either over or under other glazes. Samples on our website are guides only and not meant to be guarantees of results. Check out our Layering site for samples of Saturation Gold layered with other glazes.

Is this glaze microwave proof?

Having trouble with this glaze, if I put it on thick enough to fire gold, it runs.... What am I missing

That's odd, I've never had PC-2 Saturation Gold run. Contact our Tech Support team and include the batch code from the jar. ~Cara www.amaco.com/support

oxidation or reduction firing ?

If we want it darker can we add black underglaze?

You can, but we recommend creating a test tile first to ensure your results are what you desired.

Disaster. Applied 6 thick coats as advised in this tutorial. Came out of the kiln deep slate matte gray. This glaze is way too temperamental. Will not be using again.

Run test tiles with tempermental glazes. There are tons of factors that affect things, clay body, kiln variations and operation, cooldown speed, if you let coats dry enough, etc
