More Information:
All the Velvets are very rich colors and can be used for an all over coverage similar to an opaque underglaze. They fire true to color as
applied from the jar and may be intermixed to create a palette of hundreds of colors. The colors may be brushed (1) on greenware which is
to be bisque fired before applying a covering glaze or (2) on a mature Cone 04 (1971 F, 1077 C) bisque, then a covering glaze applied. For
opaque coverage by brushing, the consistency of the color in the jar is correct. Velvets tolerate a wide firing range with recommended firing
temperature being that of the clay used.
If left unglazed, they should not be used on surfaces which come in contact with food or drink. AMACO clear glazes LG-10, F-10 and HF-9 or any other dinnerware safe glaze are recommended to be used over AMACO
Velvets to make them dinnerware safe.
For best results with V-318, 321, 322, 325, 326, 371, and 375 apply only two coats of LG-10 Clear Glaze.
Tableware producers must have all finished ware tested and approved as safe for dinnerware through a certified laboratory due to possible
variations in firing temperature and possible contamination.
