e.max glaze at 870 and no hold time, it will remove any cracks at the same time. Only one glaze needed.
Are you using the regular Ice Stains or Ice 3D?Our current setup is Ice stains from Zirkonzahn and super glaze paste from talldium. Sometimes a second glaze firing is needed but not all the time. Result are very consistent, as long as the zr is colored properly, then more staining is needed.

Agreed. A color is ok usually for A-1, A-2, but I need to add the #1 e.max color in for the more chroma rich A's. C color doesnt cut it for C-3, C-4...I add a bit of blue in with the brown. Its good to have a full pallet and not try to be an artist with just a few crayons.Ive been using insync for a year or so now, on everything.. It glazes nice. but the colors are terrible. Some are usable, but others..
How many coats of InSync spray glaze are you applying before firing? What temperature are you firing the InSync spray glaze?InSync Glaze Spray isn't that great, we have tried it many ways and its coverage is poor.
Enamel Lite Fluoresce Spray from Keystone covers same as InSync Glaze Spray(the bottles and spray tips are the exact same)
and they both are poor at glazing FCZs. We'd rate the both out of 10.. a 4 maybe.
EMAX Fluo and stains are the best choice and most dynamic for FCZs. GC colors are good but material is still gritty(Ceramics in material) needs higher temps to smooth them out. InSync has good colors, pulls while applying, white streaks and 2 glaze firings is a down side.
We used to use InSync & Emax Fluo 40/60 to help stretch out the cost of Emax Fluo, but if its not mixed correctly the InSync will cause streaking and pulling.. not worth going back to re glaze.. time is $$$
You have to try the 3dRegular ice.

790 is a bit toasty. That would be fine for FCZ, but one of the attributes of InSync glaze was its low firing temps so that it could be used over PFZ.How many coats of InSync spray glaze are you applying before firing? What temperature are you firing the InSync spray glaze?
I have been getting excellent results with the InSync Spray glaze. Shake the can for about 30 seconds to get the ball inside the can mixing the material well. I apply two light coats of application, one right after the other letting the material turn white before the 2nd application and then firing it at 790c in my Dekema. Looks as good if not better than any paste glaze...

Thanks everyone for the great comments (Mostly!) on InSync. The reason the paste glaze does not come in larger jars is because the consistency (Separation of liquid and glaze material) cannot be controlled as easily as it can be in a 4g jar. We've experimented with 15g and 20g jar but we don't like it's consistency as much as we do in the 4g jar.The only thing I hate about insync is that it comes in tiny amounts ...would like to see a larger jar...
TS, sometimes you have to try it in the can more than once before you realize you like it! It takes a little getting used to but a lot of people prefer it in the can. Me? I'm a jar guy mInSync Glaze Spray isn't that great, we have tried it many ways and its coverage is poor.

Things are good! It has been a while.790 is a bit toasty. That would be fine for FCZ, but one of the attributes of InSync glaze was its low firing temps so that it could be used over PFZ.
BTW...long time no see. I hope things are going well.
