Decorating colors are concentrated, intense and opaque. Additional shades and tints can be made by intermixing. Colors may be brushed on either bisque or greenware.
A brush dipped in water lifts the color for decorating. Further thinning of the water soluble colors prepares them for transparent water color effects by brushing. The colors in this Amaco Semi-Moist Underglaze set are the correct consistency for silk screen printing.
Because the colors are approximately the same tone before and after firing, the effectiveness of color combinations and blending can be observed as painting progresses. Colors dry quickly and may be handled without damage.
Clearness Essential for Covering Glazes. For clear, covering glazes, AMACO® LG-9, LG-10, F-10, DC-10, and HF-9 are recommended. They will not discolor the underglaze decoration or cause the colors to bleed.
If the clear, transparent covering glaze is to be applied on the decorated bisque by brushing, dab the first coat with a sponge or brush. Let dry and then brush on the next two coats. When the underglaze colors are applied on greenware, they are hardened on in the bisque firing and the covering glaze applied either by brushing or sponging.
Pieces are fired to the maturing temperature of the covering glaze. Pink, maroon, peach, rose and yellow hold their color when fired to temperatures up to Cone 6 (2269°F, 1243°C). All other colors may be fired to an upper limit of Cone 10 (2381°F, 1305°C) with good retention.
All Amaco Semi-Moist Underglaze sets are supplied in hinged lid plastic boxes containing eight assorted pans or 1/4 oz tubes.
