AMACO® Designer Velvet Underglazes— Lead Free
Designer Velvets are semi-translucent underglazes that have the same distinction as the original Velvet Line with the addition of small specks. When left unglazed, they assume the appearance of velvet or velour with a soft speckle effect. When glazed with AMACO® Transparent Matte or Clear Glazes, they intensify slightly in color. Designer Velvet colors can be used on greenware or bisque. All colors are lead free. Recommended bisque firing range is Cone 04, but Designer Velvets tolerate a wide firing range with recommended
firing temperature being that of the clay used.
To prepare these underglazes, shake and stir for thorough mixing. It is usually not necessary
to thin these colors. However, upon occasion or for varying techniques, it may become necessary to thin Designer Velvets. In this case add a few drops of water and mix thoroughly. For best results, apply two coats only of DV-3325 and 3371. If left unglazed, AMACO® Designer Velvets should not be used on surfaces which come in contact with
food or drink. AMACO® clear glazes LG-9, LG-10, F-10, and HF-9 or any other dinnerware safe glaze are recommended to be used over AMACO® Designer Velvets to make them dinnerware safe.
AMACO® Designer Velvets have only been tested and approved as dinnerware safe when applied and fired under AMACO® LG-10 Clear Glaze. Designer Velvets may be brushed (1) on greenware which is to be bisque fired before applying a covering glaze or (2) on a mature Cone 04 (1971°F, 1077°C) bisque, then a covering glaze applied. For opaque coverage by brushing, the consistency of the color in the jar is correct.
