Specialty Glazes Information

UR-90 Bright Red and UG-151 Fire Engine Red

These are very stiff glazes that require a top coating of clear glaze to achieve a bright, shiny quality. These two colors must be applied properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. 

  • Apply 3-4 even coats, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly between applications.
  • These colors can not be intermixed with any other type of underglaze product.
  • Semi-opaque, allowing only dark colors to show through.
  • Apply 1-2 thin coats of a clear glaze on top of the unfired product. The use of BS-100 Brite Strokes Clear glaze will make UR-90 and UG-151 food safe.
  • Glaze fire to shelf cone 06.
  • These colors do not withstand high fire temperatures.
  • Perfect for small spots of color in a design, such as fruit.
  • Clean up with water.
