What is the Open Time for the Glazes?
Open time or working time refers to the length of time that the glazes will stay workable (wet) before they start to dry. It is important that the glazes have a long open time, or they will dry before you are done creating your effect. For doing negative techniques over large areas, you will want to divide the wall into manageable sections, about three to four feet in width. The Translucent Color, Opal and Pearl Glazes will stay open for about 45 minutes. The Metals will stay open for about 30 minutes, except for the Pewter, which has an open time of about 5 minutes. To increase the open time of the glazes, you can add some Clear Mixing Glaze.
