dawneckhardt Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I have a gallon of transparent gloss glaze. Ive had it for About a year and when i took it out of the box, It has a pepto pink cast to it. Ive had pints before but It was not pink.. Is this new to see the glaze and will It be clear after firing?? Anyone..anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bciskepottery Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Pink seems to be the color it comes in; do a google search of Amaco clear glaze and you'll see pink in the containers. I've seen clears that go on pink, purple (low fire), and tan (my own mixed clear). If you have doubts, fire a test tile first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Pepto pink is one color it comes in ... Helps you see where you have applied it. Did you ever see it white or are you just seeing it for the first time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen B Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I have it and have used it many times both on cone 04 and to cone 6. It works great and is very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzine Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I've been using this glaze for years, never had a problem with it. I like the fact it's pink, because as Chris said, it helps you see, where it's been applied. The other reason I like it, is because it freaks my students out. Deep down, I don't think they believe me, when I saw it will become clear. I always tell them, "If it doesn't become clear, I owe you a soda."

Nancy S. Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Yep, we used that in school and the first time, I was nervous about the color...no one promised me a soda, though! Having used both pink-tinted clears and non-tinted clears, I have to say I'm a fan of the pink. I've considered tinting my current clear glaze, but I'm not sure if dropping some food coloring in will be okay or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with clear specifically, but with resists, and things of the like. I can't imagine the food coloring would affect anything. It would just burn out relateivly early in the firing I'd imagine.
