PC-602 White Cascade intermingles with the other glazes being used, introducing pure white to the colors you are using, blending with the color. PC-602 White Cascade has a minimum movement and will stay in the pattern that you apply it in. The degree of movement of PC-603 Amber Cascade is moderate and allows the color of the base glaze to show through.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can Pottery Cascade™ be used by itself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, Pottery Cascade™ can be used alone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Q: Is Pottery Cascade™ over-glaze (luster) compatible?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, but always test first before undertaking a major project.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-03-20T16:05:32-05:00","created_at":"2018-03-20T16:05:34-05:00","vendor":"Mayco Coloramics","type":"Mayco Cone 06 PC Pottery Cascades","tags":["discount20","Glaze Line_Mayco (PC) Pottery Cascades"],"price":695,"price_min":695,"price_max":2000,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40823783030847,"title":"4oz. - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day","option1":"4oz. - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"Mayco-PC601-4","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Mayco – Cone 06 - PC-601 Clear Cascade - 4oz. - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day","public_title":"4oz. - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day","options":["4oz. - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day"],"price":695,"weight":227,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":40823783063615,"title":"Pint - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day","option1":"Pint - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"Mayco-PC601p","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Mayco – Cone 06 - PC-601 Clear Cascade - Pint - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day","public_title":"Pint - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day","options":["Pint - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day"],"price":2000,"weight":567,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/kruegerpottery.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/pc-601_lg_07ed3ac2-c7b5-430a-a22f-da25cbf9010d.jpg?v=1715458791","\/\/kruegerpottery.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/non_toxic_bbeceb54-4fa0-47b3-addb-682f40cbe5bc.jpg?v=1715458791"],"featured_image":"\/\/kruegerpottery.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/pc-601_lg_07ed3ac2-c7b5-430a-a22f-da25cbf9010d.jpg?v=1715458791","options":["Size"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":24469366210623,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":750,"width":750,"src":"\/\/kruegerpottery.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/pc-601_lg_07ed3ac2-c7b5-430a-a22f-da25cbf9010d.jpg?v=1715458791"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":750,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/kruegerpottery.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/pc-601_lg_07ed3ac2-c7b5-430a-a22f-da25cbf9010d.jpg?v=1715458791","width":750},{"alt":null,"id":24469366243391,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":237,"width":237,"src":"\/\/kruegerpottery.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/non_toxic_bbeceb54-4fa0-47b3-addb-682f40cbe5bc.jpg?v=1715458791"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":237,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/kruegerpottery.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/non_toxic_bbeceb54-4fa0-47b3-addb-682f40cbe5bc.jpg?v=1715458791","width":237}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Fire looks at Low Fire Temperatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePottery Cascade™ are moving, flowing glazes, commonly used under or over other glazes to create reactions and movement.

Can be dabbed on at random, evenly or unevenly to create different flow patterns using a sea wool sponge, for example. PC-601 Clear Cascade should be brushed on as you would apply a glaze. Apply 1-2 brushed coats over or under a non-toxic glaze. Do not go below the halfway point of the piece, as the PC-601 Clear Cascade flows the most.

PC-602 White Cascade intermingles with the other glazes being used, introducing pure white to the colors you are using, blending with the color.
