Our liquid glazes (available in 4 ounce, pints and gallons) are set up for brushing application. They can also be poured or dipped on pieces, although they should probably be thinned with a little water for this type of application. Our dry glazes (available in 10 pound bags) are set up for dipping application. Please follow our "Dry Glaze Mixing Instructions” for mixing procedures and for the amount of water required. 862 to 879 are not available dry.

Spectrum® Raku Series glazes can be thinned with water. For detailed suggestions regarding how to adjust the set up of a dipping glaze please click here for Spectrum's “Guide to Adjusting Glaze Viscosity and Density”.

Due to the many variables involved in Raku firing, particularly during the reduction phase, our chip charts should be used only as approximate guidelines. Your results may vary greatly due to different firing conditions.

RAKU GLAZES
Raku glazes should be fired between Cone 011(1600° F) to cone 06 (1850° F) in either an electric or a gas kiln. Spectrum recommends firing #850 ~ #856 to a peak of 1700° F ~ 1750° F and #860 ~ #866 to a peak of 1600° F ~ 1650° F. Then they should be allowed to cool in the kiln to 1600° F. Different combinations of peak temp and reduction starting temp will produce different results. While still red hot they should be transferred as quickly as possible into a reduction bin (typically a metal garbage can or small metal container with a lid that has been lined with organic material, such as newspaper and/or sawdust, etc.). As soon as the pieces are in the bin the lid should be put on to keep oxygen from entering the container, in order to develop the reduction atmosphere. The pieces should be allowed to cool in the bin for at least 20 minutes.

When the red hot pieces go into the bin the organic material ignites producing flames and smoke, so this part of the firing, particularly the opening of the reduction bin, should be done outside in a well ventilated area. Always take safety precautions when firing raku such as the use of high temperature gloves, protective eyewear, and a respirator. Always have a fire extinguisher handy.

  • Try to size the reduction bin to the size of the piece

  • Position the organic material (newspaper, sawdust, etc.) and the piece so that the flames can get all around the piece.

  • Different organic materials can produce very different results, so for example a glaze reduced in newspaper could be a beautiful blue color and the same glaze reduced in sawdust could have a metallic copper appearance.

  • Pieces should be cleaned immediately with water and a hard bristle brush.

  • After cleaning; warm the pieces in the kiln to evaporate any water from the piece. This helps to set the colors more permanently.
