I have tried several glazes that turn tacky in the heat (say, a day when it is 80-85 degrees or so). Is this glaze heat-resistant?

This glaze is amazing but it has to be applied correctly to the item and more importantly allowed to dry fully. If you're making a piece of artwork say, out of polymer clay, it is best to apply a thick layer without much fussing. In other words, apply a layer and leave it alone until it is fully dry. Then you can apply another layer if need be. I would allow a piece to dry in a cool NON humid place for at least 12 hours. If you are storing an item that has been glazed, please allow adequate airflow to the item. I have had some pieces become tacky for no reason I could comprehend, but I re-glazed the piece and it was totally fine. I don't see an issue with hot climates if you allow the piece to dry for 12-24 hours in a dry, cool place first. If you want to avoid any possibility of tackiness at all, you can create a semi gloss glaze by adding water to the product (in a small cup) and this will reduce your chances of tackiness dramatically. As far as the glaze being heat resistant, I would say it is but please make sure it is properly cured.

I live in a humid area and the glaze has a tacky feel to it until it has cured completely, which can take several days. I think heat itself would not make it turn tacky, but contact with moisture like sweat or humidity definitely does. It also tends to yellow in the sun. If you need a non-tacky finish I would recommend a final coat of wood varnish, which dries smooth, or if you need something with dimension try UV resin.

I did not use the glaze. I tried it on an inner shelf and it really didn't look much different so I chose not to use it at all. The protective coat makes a nice shine though.

It goes on heavier than stain, but you can definitely still see all the grain through it. Follow the directions and in my opinion the glaze is NOT optional, USE IT! It looks so much better with the glaze. This is a great product and when it goes on sale I buy more just to have it for future projects.

POR 15 Glisten in my experience with the product is as heat resistant as most other automotive grade paints. In other words, it is not affected by heat up to and including engine bay temperatures. I use in on gun barrels and receivers and it is not affected by the heat of firing cartridges. It is pretty much imperivous to gasoline, as toluene or xyelene is required as a thinning agent. I agree with the first answer in that prep of surface is paramount. Area to be painted needs to be sanded and clean and wiped down with degreaser immediately prior to application. Hope this helps?

It's a big, albeit thin, slab of marble so should be as heat resistant as any rock. :) Of course extended high heat with high humidity may discolor it and any acidic liquids left to drip on it will begin to pit it.

I don't trust glazes or Teflon. And nothing has stuck to this pot. When the lid seals it keeps all the moisture in. And because of that nothing sticks.

Temperature is somewhere close to hell. It gets HOT but if you take it 45 to 60 seconds at a time you'll be fine, Assuming it's about 5 to 6 inches outside dimensions your fusing will take about 3 minutes. It is very simple... you need either 90 or 96 COE glass - don't mix them. Find your colors. Get your fusing papers together and have fun. I recommend watching a few you tube videos from Debbie at Glaze Glass. Enjoy.

No you can't. If it soaks in water it will become soft and begin to turn back into a glaze.

I am not positive but I think I read on the internet that most are high-heat resistant up to 500°F. Good luck.

This product is not heat resistant. You definitely need to use coasters and good hot mats under hot mugs and serving dishes when using this tablecloth. It will melt.

You may get away with it if you're careful. Preforms are supposed to be PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate) (Recyle type 1 plastic) i.e. Preformed water bottles. The plastic melts at 250 degrees C. An Autoclave can get to 134 degrees C plus. So in theory, the preforms should be able to stand the heat. I would try one first on a ceramic or glass plate before committing a large quantity. Good Luck.

Kirsten, I use this spatula for pancakes and eggs just about every day and it has not shown any sign of melting. However, I have not used it with real high heat. Hope this helps you some. I really do like it, as does my wife! John

I found no glaze was needed, they're a little rough but I found a tip to use wax paper to rub them with (using it almost like sandpaper) once they're set and that seemed to work well.

I've been using it for a couple of years. Its not as harsh as others. Very soothing, especially in the morning it helps get that glaze out.

Handwashed and not oven safe--but it is so easy to clean--no scrubbing or sticking. Don't know why you would want to put them in the dishwasher. --I have the 8 piece set--I use very little oil--about half as much. . Love working with the food against the white interior--you see what is happening so much better. Also use much lower heat and get great fast results. They call it ceramic but that is only true in the sense that it is a glass covering as the glaze on ceramics is essentially a form of glass--not clay. Karl

No it isn't. I don't think it would be safe if it was 100% glazed. I think the high temperatures would probably crack it.

This is the only color you need...no mixing with anything. But you do need to follow it up with elumen Lock to keep the color longer. I don't know how it compares with a glaze. I'm just a do it yourself-er who wants a small splash of color.
