LUG-1 Black Underglaze Pint

Amaco's Liquid Underglazes

LUG-1 Black
1 Pint

Black Liquid Underglaze is a deep obsidian black that is dark and smooth at cone 05, fluxes into a soft glaze-like surface at cone 6, and maintains a deep black tone with a soft sheen all the way to cone 10. Though the underglaze does become glaze-like, a clear gloss glaze can give Black an impeccably smooth finish with relatively good color, thought it can cause small moments of transparency in the surface.

These colors will cover large areas quickly. Also great for detailed painting, sgraffito, watercolor effects, wax resist, and mishima decoration. Amaco LUG's may be brushed on wet clay, greenware, or on mature cone 04 bisqueware. 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.

Food Safe when doubled coated and fired to recommended temperature with a Lead Free Clear Glaze such as Amaco LG-10, or The Ceramic Shop's Real Clear.
