I read all the comments here before buying, so I know it was a gamble. But I’ve really been wanting to try getting a gold accent on the rims of a few cylinder I slab built.I started out with test tiles of 3, 4, 5, and 6 layers. All remained the dark brown color that others have mentioned, with a slight luster under bright light. Disappointing, but not surprising given the reviews. I also realized I applied layers way too thin.So I tried the rims and applied THICK layers. Unfortunately, this meant that the wet glaze dripped in some places. It’s very dark when applying, so very messy trying to wipe it back without smearing everywhere. I even tried dipping layers on the cylinders (and holding them upside down for several minutes so they wouldn’t run). In total, I brushed on probably 5 layers and dipped 2-3 additional layers (I lost count at some point).I also had a small (~4 in wide) bowl that I was happy to use as a tester. I applied ~6 THICK layers brushed on.All were fired at Cone 6.On the cylinders, where the glaze was brushed on (thicker band) remained very dark brown-black while the dipped band got a little lighter, still a dark brown with a little luster.On the bowl, the color came out a dark copper (think old penny, not new penny) with satin/ matte finish. Similar to the other review where they posted a photo of the inside of a mug.My takeaways:- Apply 5-6 THICK layers- Works better on a larger area- Have realistic expectations. Look at other photos online that show various thickness of application and layering.- Know that the picture here on Amazon, which is the picture from the label, is NOT what you’re likely to get after firing. That said, if you’re looking for a satin matte dark copper, this one is great!

Unfortunately this didn’t give me the results I was hoping for. Did a large test tile with multiple layers ranging from 1 to 6 layers and never achieved a “gold” color, was more of a dark bronze color.

Beautiful glaze! Pro tip: make sure you are at least putting 4-5 layers of this glaze! I had done 3ishhh and it wasn’t enough, the gold needs to be applied thickly in order to go gold.***Might work in ^10 reduction- I’ve only ran one test and it wasn’t thick enough BUT it appeared to be breaking gold in some texture! Will test again and update review

Nice glaze. Turned a nice matte gold for me in cone 6 oxidation. I wonder if folks aren't mixing it well enough.

No matter how I try I cannot get it to turn to any kind of gold resembling color. Fired at the correct cone on bisque, it just turns out gritty black. Very disappointing. I have researched and see that I am not the only one with this problem. I have tried mixing it with other glazes, does not work either. just a frustrating product.

Keep in mind that this is a high fire glaze. I didn't realize that when I bought it but it all worked out well enough. I really like how this makes the pottery seem metal made and aged at the same time.

The 3-star review is just to get your attention. Amaco makes fine glazes, and they almost always perform as promised, especially if you see actual testers. My dissatisfaction with this purchase is my own fault. If you're looking for an 04 or 05 glaze, don't buy this. If you're going all the way up to cone 5, this is the product for you. It's an easy mistake, and i made it. If you fire it at 04 or 05, it'll just be a dark matte grey color. I would have liked if they had put the cone numbers in the title of the product. As it is, this info was in the details, and I missed the details. Don't repeat my mistake.
