9048 Engobe black

Tips/Application

• Apply 2-3 times to leather-hard to dry, unfired or bisqued shards with a brush or paint horn
• Unglazed, the engobes become earthy matt
• You can achieve even greater color intensity by applying a thin layer of 9106 Transparent glossy (single firing is also possible)
• Attention:  around 900°C the black becomes grey, from about 1020°C black
• Also well-suited for marbling and pen-and-ink techniques. Use slightly diluted on watered, bisque-fired, or leather-hard shards.
• Also ideal for sgraffito
• Can be mixed with BOTZ 9450 (30% engobe, 70% glaze) to create an inexpensive colored glaze with a satin finish and fine dots, apply 3 times
• For small objects also usable as casting clay, fire at 1050°C, sintered frost-resistant
