E-Z Stroke™ Translucent Underglazes
Achieving the perfect look is easy with E-Z Stroke™ Translucent Underglazes! Their intense pigment allows for high definition and decoration on your pieces. Create a watercolor effect with one simple stroke or add shading and depth with additional strokes.
E-Z Strokes™ are ideal for airbrushing, antiquing and brushwork. They can be applied directly to greenware or bisque and layered over most underglazes, allowing the basecoat to show through. Theyre safe for serving food when coated with a Duncan food-safe clear glaze.
How to use E-Z Stroke™ Translucent Underglazes
1. Apply 1 coat for translucent designs to greenware, unfired glaze, soft-fired bisque or cone 04 bisque.
2. For rich depth and shading, apply additional coats.
3. Fire to shelf cone 04.
4. Apply Clear Glaze, stilt and fire to shelf cone 06.
5. Water clean-up.
Tips & Techniques
1. E-Z Strokes may be applied over most underglazes, including Cover-Coat® and other E-Z Stroke colors, allowing the base color to show through.
2. E-Z Strokes work well with high fire, cone 5-6 and some to cone 10. As high results vary, we recommend firing a test piece.
3. For majolica, apply E-Z Stroke design work over unfired White Satin glaze.
4. As a pure pigment-based paint, E-Z Strokes is the simplest form of fired color. You can use E-Z Strokes just like watercolors, in layers of transparent/translucent, bold, pure color. And, just like watercolors, you can inter-mix all the E-Z Strokes colors. Just as for typical watercolors, these paints must be mixed with water to be applied properly to greenware or soft fired bisque for the best application. E-Z Strokes are very fragile unfired, because when the water dries out of the pigment there are no binders holding it in place. E-Z Strokes fires into the ware at an 04 or hotter cone, although most of the pigments will hold true up to a cone 10. This broad firing range allows artists to use E-Z Strokes on almost all clay bodies
5. E-Z Strokes are perfect for airbrushing.
6. Use E-Z Strokes to tint clay slip, most glazes, fired Snow and other E-Z Stroke colors.
7. High definition and detail can be achieved by adding water to E-Z Stroke color and using a very fine brush.
