Radiant Red Velvet Underglaze

A bright scarlet, vivid at cone 05.

Suggested retail price. In-store prices and availability may vary by location.

It deepens at cone 5 and becomes a deep fire-engine red, slightly glossy, at cone 10. A clear glaze accentuates it significantly at any temperature. Velvet is AMACO's underglaze line. It is opaque, matches the colour in the jar and is fine enough to hold detailed brushwork. Brush it on wet clay, leather-hard clay, greenware or cone 04 bisque, whichever stage suits the piece. It fires anywhere from cone 05 to cone 10, and left bare it dries to the soft matte finish it is named for. Three to four brush coats give full coverage, and it can also be sprayed or layered. On its own it is not food safe, but it becomes dinnerware safe once a food-safe clear glaze is fired over it. Fire a test tile with each new batch. Select colours are also available in gallons.
