They may also be adjusted to work in pouring, dipping, and
sponging applications. They are available in liquid (pint or
gallon) or one pound dry.
LG-10 is a clear, all-over covering glaze that produces a
smooth, high gloss finish at a mature witness Cone 06 (1911°F,
1044°C). Two coats of LG-10 is usually sufficient to achieve a
smooth glossy finish.
Clear glaze can be used over the AMACOŽ LUG series, Velvet,
Velvet-1-Strokes, Designer Velvet, and over the GDC Majolica Gloss
Decorating Colors. When gloss decorating colors are used over
bisque, they need a clear glaze over them which is applied at the
same time and fired once. LG-11 Opaque White can be used for the
Majolica technique.

They are easy to use. Just apply three coats over a Cone 04 bisque
and fire to Cone 05. With this group of glazes you do not have
disappointing results if you fired slow or fast, and it does not
matter what you fire next to it. You just have to make sure to
fire to a witness Cone 05. These glazes are perfect for the
classroom, especially where application by young children may be
uneven.
