Coldglaze & Chinaglaze – Glazing & Restoration Systems
The Sylmasta Coldglaze PRO 2 and Sylmasta Chinaglaze glazing systems are trusted by museums and restoration experts to reglaze, restore and repair china, ceramics, pottery and other materials. They can also be used to repaint patterns, either through mixing with pigments or oil colours.
Coldglaze does not require the use of heat. Chinaglaze is a more traditional glazing system with a work time of 30 minutes when fired at 80°C. Sylmasta glazes are applied by hand brush or airbrush and cure to a hard, smooth finish with excellent non-yellowing qualities.

Coldglaze PRO 2 System – Glaze without heat
The Coldglaze PRO 2 System does not require the use of heat in the glazing process, making it suitable for restoration and repair work on materials that may not take well to being fired.
Coldglaze PRO 2 Gloss can be mixed with PT146 Thinners for application via airbrush, White Paste to create a white glaze, Retarder for increased working time and improved adhesion and S532 Matting Agent to reduce the gloss finish.
When using Coldglaze to coat over other glazes, we recommend the use of a Barrier Coat to prevent Coldglaze from mixing with the existing glaze.
For detailed instructions on how to use Coldglaze PRO 2 and examples of what the system is capable of, please see our Showcase article on how to glaze china, ceramic and pottery like a pro.
Coldglaze is the choice of professional restorers to repair and reglaze china, ceramics and other materials without using heat in the glazing process
P146 Thinners is specially blended for thinning Coldglaze when the gloss is to be applied via airbrushing. PT146 can also be used to clean brushes
Retarder increases the working time of Coldglaze. This improves adhesion and allows the glaze more time to flatten, giving a higher quality gloss finish
CGW White Paste is a colour dispersion system added to both Coldglaze and Chinaglaze to cure the glaze white rather than the standard clear finish
S532 Matting Agent is a fine powder which can be added to both Coldglaze and Chinaglaze to reduce their gloss finish
Chinaglaze Low Temperature Glaze
Chinaglaze is a traditional glazing system with fast working properties. The low temperature glaze is fired at 80°C (176°F) for just 30 minutes, after which it gives an excellent hard gloss finish with high strength surface adhesion. It has a low odour when fired.
Chinaglaze can be mixed with HP733 Thinners for application via airbrush and S532 Matting Agent to reduce the gloss finish. To create a white glaze rather than clear, CGW White Paste can be added.
