A glaze acts as a protective and decorative coating for ceramic surfaces. When applied and fired, it forms a glass-like layer that enhances durability, prevents moisture absorption, and adds a smooth, glossy finish. This transformation not only improves the ceramic’s appearance but also makes it more resistant to stains and scratches. At Astonishing Detail, we apply a similar concept with our ceramic coating services, creating a protective layer that keeps vehicles looking polished and well-protected.

Which is the more thermal expansion in ceramics Glaze?
In ceramics, glazes typically exhibit higher thermal expansion compared to the clay body they are applied to. This is because glazes often contain materials that expand more upon heating, such as feldspar and silica. The difference in thermal expansion between the glaze and the underlying ceramic can lead to issues like crazing or cracking if not properly matched during the firing process. Therefore, it is essential to consider the thermal expansion properties of both the glaze and the clay body for successful ceramic applications.
How do you re-glaze and refire a ceramic piece?
To re-glaze and refire a ceramic piece, first, carefully clean the surface of the existing glaze to remove any dust or oils, then sand it lightly if necessary for better adhesion. Apply the new glaze evenly, ensuring it covers the entire surface you wish to refinish. Allow the glaze to dry completely before placing the piece in a kiln for firing, following the appropriate temperature and duration guidelines for the type of glaze and clay used. Once fired, let the piece cool down gradually to avoid thermal shock.
