OB-Series Versa Color are ceramic overglaze decorating colors, finely ground in an oil base. Although developed especially for silk screen printing on glazed tiles, they are a versatile medium for all glazed pottery, sculpture, china painting and fired metal enamel surfaces. Versa Color are an excellent product for making decals.
The 8 colors may be intermixed for additional variety.
The consistency of OB-Series Versa Color makes them beset suited for silk screen printing using a 200 mesh screen, however they can also be used for stencil and free brush methods when thinned with turpentine.
Recommended firing temperature is Cone 015 with a range of Cone 016 to Cone 012. OB-Series Versa Color are semi-opaque with a brilliant sheen.
