Tips & Techniques
1. Cover-Coats may be tinted using E-Z StrokesTM
or other Cover-Coats, to create unique custom colors.
2. To create carved designs, sgraffito (gently scratch
through the applied color to reveal the color or the clay
body beneath it).
3. Painting with Cover-Coats is similar to painting with
acrylic paints and is a great fired alternative for a tole
and decorative painter. Colors are opaque and generally
one color covers the one beneath it. They must be fired to
ensure maturation and stability. Clear glazes over all
shows the truest colors.
4. Cover-Coats are perfect for airbrushing and brushwork.
5. Cover-Coats are great for layering because they dry
quickly and can be painted over without lifting the colors
underneath.
