NON-TOXIC (8 colors) view colors

All colors in the Versa Color WB Opalescent series are AP NON-TOXIC.

These eight intermixable colors provide a new aspect of lustrous finishes, compared with the pure gloss surface of the other Versa Color. They are opaque and the opalescent lustre appears three dimensional and seems to come from the depth of the decorated object.

AMACO WB Versa Color Opalescent are available in 1/4 fl. oz. tubes.

The WB-Opalescent colors are intermixable with each other to produce a wider range of shades. They should not, however, be mixed with non opalescent Versa Color or any other overglaze. Recommended firing temperature is Cone 017 for best results.

The WB-Opalescent Series becomes very glossy or changes color when fired to Cone 016 and above, thus loosing the lustrous opalescent effect. When applied over dark colored glazes, they appear to intensify and their color is richer. These colors were developed to be used on lead free glazes, however, when used on a decorative item on a leaded glaze, Gold, Emerald and Ruby become brighter. A 170 mesh screen is recommended for silk screening.

Water Base Versa Color cannot be used to produce decals. It can be screen printed directly onto a flat surface (i.e. a tile). Use only Oil Base Versa Color to make decals. DO NOT use Versa Color on dinnerware surfaces.
