Hi, I need this to be quite deep. If I add 10% to my transparent glaze would this help? Also, if I water the glaze down more will the colour become less vibrant?

I would recommend no more than 8% to get an opaque colour, if you water the glaze down it may mean a thinner coat of glaze being applied to your pot so the colour may not be as opaque but should not affect the vibrancy, hope this helps.

Hi there, I’m trying to make a coloured slip with this stain but it keeps burning out at 1250/1260. I started with an 80/20 mix of dry pf560/stain. When that burned out I added another 20g of stain but it still burned out. Is the temp too high? I use lots of the Nano stains to great effect.

Hi, most pinks require calcium to develop at high temperatures. If you think of mixing a tin of paint, to get pink you'd be best mixing a white paint with a little red until you get the desired colour. For making pink slips we recommend the same principal, adding a small amount of red stain in a white base slip will give you more reliable results. Hope this helps!

Hi, how can I use this stain - or any of the pinks- at cone 6 without them burning out? Interested in either a glaze or underglaze suggestion

Hi, you could add this stain at 8% to our GZ2136 high calcium glaze. The calcium will allow for the development of the pink colour at cone 6. Hope this helps!
