Kiwi Underglaze can be applied in a number of ways, including:
Application on to bisqueware, followed by a coat of clear glaze, then glaze fired.
Application to greenware and then bisque fired at 1000 degrees celsius prior to an appliation of clear glaze.
Application to bisqueware followed by a second optional bisque firing at 1000 degrees to "harden on" the colour prior to glazing.

After firing, the colour intensifies and becomes glossy, when left unglazed and fired to around 1000 degrees or more, the colours assume a velvet matte appearance. This is a good surface for sculptural forms and as a decorating effect where glazing is not essential.

Colour should be applied as thinly as possible, in layers, to achieve the desired effect. If water has been lost a little more may be added but be careful not to dilute colour power. Application gives a translucent effect with 1 coat, semi opaque with 2 coats and opaque with 3 coats. Colour is brightest when clear glazed and fired to 1180 degrees, but full glaze firing range of 1050 to 1260 degrees.

Safety: Toxic material or hazardous as airborne dust, and/or as powder and/or in liquid suspension. Work will be foodsafe after glazing and firing.
