Please explain to me the methods for dry and wet glazing methods for glass?

Answer 1

Please check the following

*Glaze is a layer or coating of a vitreous substance which has been fired to fuse to a ceramic object to color, decorate, strengthen or waterproof it.

A wet glaze—usually transparent—is applied over the decoration. The pigment fuses with the glaze, and appears to be underneath a layer of clear glaze. An example of underglaze decoration is the well-known "Blue and white porcelain" porcelain famously produced in England, The Netherlands, China and Japan. The striking blue color is achieved by using the powerful colorant cobalt in the form of either cobalt oxide or cobalt carbonate, both of which are still commonly used in glaze formulation today.

*GENERAL PROCEDURES ‑ WET GLAZING :

1. Clean counters thoroughly before and after you glaze your work.

2. Do not leave small containers of glaze. Return all glazes to the large buckets. Wash the containers and return them to the storage shelves.

3. Return lids and stir sticks to glaze buckets immediately after use to avoid contamination.

4. Clean all equipment and containers after use.

5. Clean sink area after use.

GENERAL PROCEDURES ‑ DRY MIXING :

1. Fully label all personal glazes and mixtures with your name, class, semester, type or name of glaze and its firing temperature.

2. Completely clean counter and scales after use. Vacuum floor if necessary.

3. Never remove any oxide or glaze materials container from the room.

4. Do not open bags without permission if contents cannot be put into bins immediately. Leave message for lab assistant if containers need filling.

5. Make sure scale pans are wiped clean and scales are set back to zero.
