usage
One Stroke colors are intensely pigmented translucent underglazes, designed for painterly decoration and fine detailing. One Strokes offer an efficient means of color application on both greenware and bisqueware:
■ On greenware, the clay is fired to bisque temperatures then covered with a suitable clear glaze and refired to seal the ceramic piece.
■ On bisqueware, the One Stroke decoration should be thoroughly dry before glazing over and firing to recommended gloss temperatures to seal the ceramic piece.
One Stroke can also be applied directly onto an unfired opaque white glaze surface, then fired in order to achieve a majolica effect.
application
One Strokes are formulated to be brushed straight from the bottle, but they may be thinned with a little clean water if color appears too thick or if a more subtle effect is desired for shading or majolica application. Thinning with clean water may also be required when airbrushing.
One Strokes are also suitable for sponging and stippling, and whilst essentially translucent, the intensity of the pigment means that some colors (particularly dark colors) will give excellent solid coverage with a single generous coat.
One Strokes due to their intensity are also useful in coloring slip for engobe application and for tinting White 3D Trailing Glaze.
Achieving the perfect look is easy with Duncan® E-Z Stroke® Translucent Underglazes! Their intense pigment allows for high definition and decoration on your pieces. Create a watercolor effect with one simple stroke or add shading and depth with additional strokes.
E-Z Stroke Underglazes are ideal for airbrushing, antiquing and brushwork. They can be applied directly to greenware or bisque and layered over most underglazes, allowing the basecoat to show through. They’re safe for serving food when coated with a Duncan food-safe clear glaze.
Colors are available in 1-oz. squeeze bottles and assorted colors are offered in pints.
If you love layers, coat your pieces with Duncan® Cover-Coat® Opaque Underglazes! Applied directly to greenware, soft-fired bisque or bisque, these underglazes provide solid coverage over even the darkest colors, and are perfect for airbrushing and brushwork.
Cover-Coat Underglazes fire to an opaque, porous matte finish and are safe for food when a Duncan food-safe clear glaze is applied over them. For custom colors, tint them with other Cover-Coat colors or Duncan® E-Z Stroke™ Translucent Underglazes.
