Usage Instructions

G3838A is a cone 6, low-expansion transparent glaze specifically engineered for high-kaolin porcelains, such as Plainsman P300, to minimize crazing. It serves as a superior alternative to G2926J by offering improved surface clarity and gloss. Formulated with a high boron content to facilitate melting, the glaze incorporates elevated alumina and MgO to suppress crystal growth and prevent clouding during slow-cooling cycles. This balance of boron, alumina, and silica ensures a durable, stable, and high-gloss finish. Proper application thickness is essential for clarity; excessive buildup may affect transparency.
