Brilliant, Ready-to-Use Colors. AMACO Liquid Underglaze Decorating Colors are supplied in time saving, ready to use form. The concentrated, opaque colors are recommended for covering large areas quickly, easily, and smoothly. Results are equally effective when the colors are used for detailed painting, sgraffito decoration, water color effects, free brush ainting, wax resists, and mishima decoration.

Twenty-four Easy-to-Apply Colors. Twentyfour intense colors are available and other colors, shades and tints are made by blending. The colors may be brushed (1) on greenware which is to be bisque fired before applying a cov ering glaze, (2) on mature Cone 04 bisque, then cov ering glaze applied and fired to maturing temperature of the clear glaze. Color chips shown below were glazed with LG-10 and fired to Cone 05.

For opaque coverage by brushing, the consistency of the color in the jar is correct. White slip may be tinted by adding small amounts of most LUG colors to pro­duce colored slip. Intensity depends on quantity used. To color moist clay, cut clay in very thin slices, pour LUG color between slices and wedge until uniform color is achieved.

Since the colors are approximately the same tone before and after firing, the effectiveness of color combinations and blending is observed as the glazing progresses.

Selecting Transparent Covering Glazes. Transparent covering glazes are applied on decorated bisque shapes, and the pieces are fired to the maturing temperature of the glaze. AMACO Glazes LG-9, LG-10, F-10, DC-10, and HF-9 are recommended as clear glazes. LUG-25 will appear Green Turquoise under LG-9 and Blue Turquoise under LG-10. Colored transparent glazes in the LG, F, and HF series may be selected for unusual effects.

For best results with LUG-51, 52, 54, 55, and 56, apply only two coats of LG-10 Clear Glaze.
