Rutile Glaze


Normally a fluid glaze containing 3-5% rutile will run in rivulet patterns and seed the development of some crystallization during cooling. Common from cone 6 to 10 in oxidation or reduction. These glazes can often be problematic in some circumstances, especially with regard to blistering and crawling, whereas in others they perform flawlessly.
