Is this glaze food safe and suitable for use with Amaco velvet under-glaze. Thanks

If a glaze is food safe our not depends on several factors including the type of clay used, the firing temperature, the shape of the vessel, the thickness of glaze even the position of the vessel in the kiln can have an effect on the glaze. Ideally a food safe test would be carried out by a reputable body like British Ceram. In the case of the glaze mentioned it would most likely pass a food safe test providing it was fired on a suitable body like our ES5 Earthstone Original in an electric kiln and to the suggested firing temperature.

Is it a brush on glaze?

If the glaze is listed as mls or Ltrs it is brush on, if it is listed in grms or kgs it is supplied in powder form, hope this helps.

If I have already glazed a piece on one surface with a high temperature glaze, could I then use this glaze on the other side firing at a lower temperature and thus not effecting the already glazed side?

No simply it will not work, sorry about this.

Can a mid-range glaze be used on both earthenware and stoneware, as long as the firing temp does not exceed the max limit?
