Testing is recommended for your specific application prior to large scale use.

Yes, in most instances. However, some stains are incompatible with others.

Testing is always recommended prior to wider use.

No lead compounds are used in the manufacturing of Mason Color's pigments.

Mason's chrome-tin pink series, 6000 to 6006, are stable from Cone 06 (normal "low" temperature) to Cone 12 (normal "high" temperature). This type of pigment requires the correct glaze chemistry, in all temperature ranges, in order to maximize the "color value". High calcium content is the most important. The zink and magnesia levels must be low to zero and boron should not be too hgih. These rules do not necessarily apply when "fast-firing" techniques are used. Also, these pigments need an oxidizing atmoshphere throughout the firing cycle.

Testing is always recommended on pinks and crimsons at any temperature prior to wider use.

Some of these pigments are made of chrome-tin pink and cobalt. (See question above regarding pinks and crimsons). Sufficent calcium is needed to support the "red" side of the mixture.

Testing is always recommended prior to wider use.

Mason Stains® (by Mason Color Works) Reference Guide
    1. Can be used as a 'body stain' in porcelain at high temperatures. All of the brown colors can be used as 'body stains' but will vary in shade considerably depending on the composition of the body and temperature at which it is fired.
    3. Max. firing limit 2300 degrees F (1260 degrees C).

Zinc Oxide influences the color in a glaze more than any other element. Generally, zincless glazes should not contain magnesium oxide. Some colors containing zinc are to be used in a zincless glaze. The zinc in the color is in a combined form and will not harm the color, but free zinc oxide in the glaze can destroy the color.

    5. Do not use zinc in glaze.
    6. May be used with zinc or without zinc.
    7. Zinc not necessary, but gives better results.
    8. Best results with no zinc.

Calcium Oxide content as calcium carbonate should be between 12-15% for best color development. Adding the molecular equivalent of calcium oxide with wollastonite, a natural calcium silicate, often gives better uniformity. The increased silica from the wollastonite must be subtracted or the glaze will have a poor surface.

    9. Glaze must contain 6.7 to 8.4% CaO (12-15% CaCO3)
