Test repairs separately: a second firing can change the original glaze and clay. If adjusting consistency, the supplier specifies 1.3–1.4 kg per litre, rather than a standard dilution recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStir the brushable glaze thoroughly, then follow the jar directions for application. Let each coat dry before adding another.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen layering, test the combined thickness rather than applying two full coatings automatically. Protect the shelf when testing fluid glazes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbbots develops its midfire colours around cone 5–6 heatwork. Use witness cones to check maturity; copying a controller temperature alone will not reproduce another kiln.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood-contact suitability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a crackle-effect glaze. The supplier describes it as food safe in Abbots’ opinion, but that is not an independent test of your finished ware. For food-contact work, assess glaze fit, cleanability and the completed clay\/glaze combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore glazing a full piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFire a test tile on your chosen clay before glazing a full piece. Record the coats, firing cone and cooling programme. Photographs show example fired results; clay colour, kiln atmosphere and application can change the appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"pl-source-guides\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eManufacturer \u0026amp; supplier guides\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ccg.co.nz\/craft\/product\/12012\/abbots-midfire-brushable-glaze-clear-crackle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCCG product guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cp class=\"pl-guide-help\"\u003eNeed help comparing colours? \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/glazes\/abbots\"\u003eBrowse Abbots glazes\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003econtact our Queenstown studio\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abbots","offers":[{"title":"500 ml","offer_id":45895900430445,"sku":"64281","price":29.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/0685\/8349\/files\/abbots-clear-crackle_y3fsydip.ubv.jpg?v=1789794151","url":"https:\/\/thepotterylounge.co.nz\/products\/abbots-midfire-brushable-glaze-clear-crackle","provider":"The Pottery Lounge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
