Details

China painters turpentine, pure turps for mixing and brush cleaning. 


Tips for on-glaze painting: 
Cadmium reds and yellow: These warm colours need to be applied more thickly andfired at a slightly lower temperature, to 790C (maximum), with little or no soak. This method is most relevant to P4288 Golden yellow. 

Transparent colours: 
Any on-glaze or glass paint can be made transparent by the addition of clear flux. 
Products available from Potterycrafts are: 
R5925 - Mixing flux for low sol colours 
R5926 - Mixing flux forlow sol colours, suitable for use with cadmium colours 
R5625 - Mixing flux for leadless colours 
R5930 - Mixing flux for glass colours (high temperature) 
R5948 - Mixing flux for glasscolours (medium temperature) 
These fluxescan also be used as a protective layer over on-glaze decoration to give extra durability. 

Outlines: 
Outlines for designs can be traced or drawn freehand using a soft pencil or fine marker pen. For a more permanent result, a pale brownor grey on-glaze colour can be used with a fine brush or pen. This can then be fired to give an outline which will not be lost after the first firing. 
Outlines are best done on ware that has been degreased with turpentine and dried.
