Amaco "GDC" Glazes
Recommended firing temperature is
cone 05. The colors in the GDC series have only been tested and
approved as safe for dinnerware when applied alone and on top
of AMACO LG-11. They must be retested as safe for dinnerware
if they are used on top of other glazes.
The Gloss Decorating Colors can
also be used for all over coverage or to design over the bisque
with no additional glaze over or under it. In such cases, application
should be at least two coats or more to achieve good results.
The GDC colors are very versatile and can be successfully used
over other white or color glazes as long as a small sample is
pretested first to establish the appropriate temperature to achieve
the best results.
All Majolica Gloss Decorating Colors are semi-translucent
with one coat; opaque with three coats.
