Working Notes

Color opalizes upon firing, becoming more consistent. Color may dapple with excessive heatwork.

This style is not suitable for kilncasting because it can become incompatible when held at high temperatures for an extended period. It may also become incompatible in instances where processes exceed the parameters of the test for compatibility. Testing recommended when heatwork exceeds these parameters.
