Question Posted By: Lori Apgar Wednesday, November 15 2006 09:11:43 Suggest Answer

While attending the VAEA Conference in Roanoke, Va, I purchased 5 new low fire Amaco glazes from a vendor. I have made 2 sets of tester tiles for my students and the Iron Saturate A-32 and Peacock A-28 look EXACTLY the same. Are they that similar or could one be mismarked? Thank you for your help.

    Lori,

    The two glazes that you have are very similar in appearance. The A 28 Peacock has a little more of the green appearance than A 32 Iron Saturate. When using the A 28 make sure you fire it more slowly than the others and add a 20 minute hold at the end of firing cycle.
