Underglazes > Sun Strokes (SS) Brilliant Underglaze Colors -- LEAD FREE
All colors in the Sun Strokes series are LEAD Free and Non-Toxic.
Above: "Bahama Mama" by Janet Verdegem, Cullowhee, NC, is decorated with SS-201 Tulip Red and other glazes.
Vivid reds, oranges, yellow and green! Six intense special underglazes specifically formulated for Cone 06-05 (1855°-1911° F, 1013°-1044° C) in oxidation and raku firings -- with or without a clear glaze. Sun Strokes Underglazes have a gloss finish even when fired without the clear glaze. Therefore, if they are applied on the bottom of the piece, they must be stilted when fired or they will stick to the kiln shelf.
Clear glaze smoothes out and brightens the colors. Apply two even coats to bisque. When using clear glaze, it must be applied over the decorated piece before firing of the underglaze. Apply LG-10 or F-10 over underglaze colors for one stroke application and all over coverage. Apply one even coat on a mature Cone 04 (1971°F, 1077°C) bisque. Fire to Cone 06-05 (1855°-1911°F, 1013°-1044°C).
If left unglazed, AMACO® Sunstrokes should not be used on surfaces which come in contact with food or drink. Sunstrokes are dinnerware safe when covered by AMACO clear glazes LG-10, F-10, and HF-9 or any other dinnerware safe glaze. AMACO Sunstrokes have only been tested and approved as dinnerware safe when applied and fired under AMACO LG-10 Clear Glaze.
