Pottery Cascades are non-toxic, free flowing glazes used to produce special effects or flow patterns when used in combinations with other non-toxic glazes. Pottery Cascades? are not intended to be used alone.
PC-602 White Cascade intermingles with the other glazes being used, introducing pure white to the colors you are using, blending with the color. PC-602 White Cascade has a minimum movement and will stay in the pattern that you apply it in. PC-601 Clear Cascade produces a flowing effect, and allows the color of the base glaze to show through. It can also alter your original color, creating a new color. It will form runs or you can direct the runs when you apply the product.
Pottery Cascades should be used in combination with other non-toxic glazes; using a leaded product with Cascades will create stress on the piece during firing and crack the piece. For best results, use with Elements, Crystalites and Stroke & Coat bases.
