Cone 05. Magic Flow glazes are a special series which imitates the effect of Cone 10 reduction ash glazes. The advantages are in the fact that they are fired only to Cone 05 in an electric kiln in oxidation, avoiding the use of toxic ingredients and the requirement of high temperature firing.

 

The clay on which AMACO® Magic Flow glazes are applied affects the unique wiggly flow of these glazes. For best results use a Talc containing clay such as AMACO® No 20 Versa Clay. You can also get excellent results on slip cast items. On non-talc clay bodies the wiggly effects will not show as prominently but will smooth out and flow more in a straight line. Both effects can be very attractive. Best application is by brushing so you can taper down towards the bottom of the piece. Apply two coats all the way to the bottom of the piece and the third coat only to the upper half. Fire with a dry foot on a kiln shelf that has been well coated with AMACO® Kiln Shelf Wash
