All of our glazes are lead free, all but eighteen are cadmium free; however none of these glazes should be taken internally as they contain ingredients not suitable for ingestion or inhalation.

Dry Glazes and Spray Application
Product labeling; All of our glazes have been evaluated by an independent toxicologist and are properly labeled in accordance with ASTM D-4236. Dry glazes have the following statement:

Product Safety: All Coyote dry glazes contain quartz (silica), and some contain cobalt, chromium and cadmium. Avoid creating dust, use an OSHA approved respirator and local exhaust.

Food Safety
Currently the only materials that are regulated by the FDA regarding food safety in ceramic glazes are lead and cadmium. All Coyote glazes are lead free, and the eighteen that contain cadmium (in the form of inclusion stains) have, in our testing, passed cadmium release tests when properly fired. We also recommend that the softer (matt) glazes not be used for food use as they may change color or texture with repeated use.

Buttercup, Butterscotch Shino, Cedar Shino, Cherry Satin, Coral Satin, Fire Opal, Lemon Cream Satin, Orange, Peachy Shino, Plum Shino, Pumpkin, Really Red, Red, Red Crawl, Red Orange, Rhubarb, Sunrise Shino and Sunset Pink contain Cadmium in the form of inclusion stains; in our testing, all of these glazes passed leaching tests for cadmium release, however due to the many variables in firing, we recommend that ware produced for sale be tested by the potter at an approved laboratory before it is marketed.

Blue Matt, Green Matt, Green Shino, Iron Matt, Purple Matt and Turquoise are not recommended for food use. May change color or texture with repeated exposure to food and dishwasher detergents. The Crawl glazes are not recommended for food use.

WARNING: None of these products should be taken internally; all contain ingredients not suitable for ingestion or inhalation.

Some glazes are very runny while others are quite stable. If you want to double dip glazes, only do so on the inside or the top half of the exterior. If your piece is glazed right to the foot, has double or triple dipped glaze on the whole piece or has glaze flaking off, it will probably run.

Dipping
To coat the whole piece in a single glaze, the easiest technique is to pick it up with a pair of glaze tongs, dip it in, count to three and pull it out. Make sure to empty it as you withdraw it. If you pull a bowl out still full of glaze it will weigh so much that the tongs will break through. Hold it upside down over the bucket to drain the excess glaze. There will probably be some glaze sticking to the waxed areas; wipe off what you can while you are holding it with the tongs. Set the piece down and let it dry. After it is dry enough to handle, turn it over and sponge off any glaze still remaining on the bottom. The foot must be perfectly clean before it can go in a kiln.

Brushing
For brushing, most glazes need 2 to 3 coats. It is easier to get even coverage if you brush the first coat side to side, then the next coat up and down.

Firing
These glazes work best when fired between cone 5 and 6 (Orton large cones). If you use a kiln sitter you usually have to use a cone six in the sitter to achieve a good cone 5. For automatic kilns, we fire to cone 5 (fast) with a 15 minute hold. Every kiln is different, so you may have to fine tune your firing to achieve the best results.
