Apply
the underglaze pencil to bisque ware to create a variety of unique decorative
designs. After decorating, dust lightly with a brush to remove excess
particles.
·
Sponge
on first coat of clear glaze lightly, in order not to smear design. Let dry and
brush additional coats of clear transparent AMACO® glaze. This precaution is
unnecessary if the glaze is to be applied by spraying, dipping, or pouring.
Pieces are fired to the maturing temperature of the covering glaze. When spray
application of a covering glaze is desired, first refer to individual listing
to be sure it may be sprayed safely.
·
To
reduce smudging, mix 1 tablespoon AMACO®
Gum Solution to 1 pint of water
in spray bottle. Spray on work before glazing.
·
Unlike
regular pencils—care must be taken in sharpening Underglaze Pencils. Do not use
a pencil sharpener. It is best to sharpen them with a knife or blade.
NOTE: The maximum firing
temperature is Cone 10 for Blue, Black, and Green, Cone 5 for Brown and Yellow,
and Cone 05 for Rose.
If left unglazed,

dinnerware safe glaze are recommended to be used over AMACO® Underglaze Pencils
to make them dinnerware safe.
