2. Majolicaab Cone 05. The Gloss Decorating Colors (GDC) were developed specifically to produce the Majolica technique. Each of these colors can be applied directly over unfired lead free AMACO LG-11 Opaque White glaze. The special formulation of this exciting 36 color series means that no clear covering glaze is necessary. Colors will fire glossy and assume the smooth surface of the white base glaze.

These colors will also produce excellent results when used over most of the AMACO LG Series Glazes as well as the F, LM, and the DG Series glazes. Variations on how the GDC series can be used is limited only to the potter’s imagination.

3. All-Over Coverage The Gloss Decorating Colors can also be used for over all coverage or to design over the bisque with no additional glaze over or under it. In such cases, application should be of at least two coats or more to achieve good results.

4. High Fire Majolica Technique When GDC colors are used for stoneware, use HF-11 White glaze over bisque and follow the same decorating technique as earthenware. Colors will not change at Cone 5 except the following: GDC-55 will change to Dark Blue, GDC-45 will change to Dark Green, and GDC-64 will change to Light Yellow/Green.
