A wealth of colors with a brilliant finish.  Choose from transparent color washes to rich opaques.  High shine, true colors, top performers.  These are the leaded versions of the Envision glazes.  Gloss glazes move slightly more in firing than Envisions, and need not be applied as smoothly.  Most are toxic (contain lead), except Diamond Clear.

DUNCAN UNDERGLAZE

Duncan EZ Strokes Translucent

EZ  SALE

EZ Strokes have become popular for their versatility.  Their translucent quality makes them suitable for use with a number of decorating techniques including airbrushing, antiquing and brushwork.   One stroke is all you need for most design work.  One or two additional strokes may be added for depth and shading while the color is still wet.  (Do not apply additional coats after the color has dried, or the heavy buildup may cause popping off, bleed, or bubbling).  E-Z strokes may be applied over most underglazes, including Cover-Coats and other E-Z stroke colors, allowing the base color to show through.  They may also be used to tint clay slip, most glazes, and other E-Z stroke colors.  May be used on greenware or bisqueware.  For best results fire to cone 06 after application, then glaze fire.  Glaze fire from cone 06-1.  Some colors will go to cone 10 oxidation.

The first coat is translucent.  The second is semi-opaque.  Three coats give bisque full coverage.  All are non-toxic.  Can be used without clear glaze, but is designed for use with Envision Clear glaze or Diamond Clear (brush-on or dipping).  

Colors are easy to choose in harmonizing shades.  Stay in either the light, the bright, or the dark category and they will match in intensity.

Concepts are often used for painting onto already fired tiles and dinnerware, then re-firing.  Even though it is an underglaze, many have reported good success using them in this manner.

Duncan Cover-Coats

CC
SALE

For solid-color, 3-coat coverage on greenware.  Some colors may also be applied to bisque (check label.)  Cover-Coats fire to an opaque, porous matte finish.  A clear glaze finish is used to seal the porous surface and to brighten the underglaze colors.   Colors may be tinted with E-Z Strokes or other Cover-Coats.   Colors shine with polishing technique which is done by completing application, mixing a further quantity of the color half and half with water, and applying to small sections of the piece at a time.  Just as the wet look disappears, polish briskly with a soft cloth.  Overlap each area as you go until finished to a satin sheen.  After firing this surface will be water resistant but not waterproof. 

DUNCAN OVERGLAZE

Duncan Lustre & Metallic Overglaze  Lustres are translucent products that gives underlying colors the iridescent look of mother-of-pearl.  It will assume a sheen similar to that of the underlying glaze (for example, if the underlying glaze is satin, the overglaze will be also.)  Metallics are actual precious metals which, when fired, yield different shades ranging from yellow gold to white gold.  They are primarily accent products applied over a fired glaze and then kiln fired at a relatively low temperature.  Wipe surfaces with rubbing alcohol prior to application (except when applying over a crackle glaze.)  Metallic overglazes will assume a sheen similar to that of the underlying glaze (for example, if the underlying glaze is satin, the overglaze will be also.)
