All
1 oz. $3.500
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 brushstrokes. 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. if
additional coats are applied after the color has dried, the heavy
build up may cause popping off, bleeding and bubbling.
30 EZ
Stroke colors can be applied directly to bisque, check the label
for details. EZ Strokes may be applied over most and
underglazes, including Cover- Coats and other EZ Stroke colors,
allowing the base color to show through. They may also be used to
change clay slip, most glazes, fired snow and other EZ Stroke
colors.

Learning About E-Z StrokeTM
Translucent Underglazes
Basic Instructions 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.
Health & Safety 1. Nontoxic and lead-free.
2. Food safe when properly covered with a
Duncan lead-free clear glaze.
