SC85-Orkid

A very versatile product that can be used in every decorative way imaginable. Can be applied on wet clay, earthenware bisque, stoneware or porcelain and fired in oxidation or reduction, from cone 06 up to cone 10 for some colors (firing test needed). Can be used for brush strokes or opaque coverage. One coat will create a translucent finish with subsequent coats adding opacity (up to three coats). Can be used to create intricate, detailed designs and butt up to one another without colors moving. Can also be used for the majolica technique. Stroke & Coat are intermixable, allowing artists to create custom shades. Thin with water or media to create a “wash” or watercolor style of design. Because the liquid color is consistent with the fired color, artists will have no trouble visualizing finished results as they create. 

Three-coat coverage is generally opaque and gloss finish. However, some colors do not fire as shiny as others; therefore, Clear Glaze is recommended. Stroke & Coat must be stilted when they are applied to the bottom of a piece, whether glazed or not. (If not, pieces could stick to the kiln shelf during firing).
