Nancy S. 22 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hey all! My first volley of research didn't garner much, so I figured I'd see what the forum has to offer... A friend of mine would like me to make something for her in a bright lime green (see attached photos for examples of the color). Any suggestions for a commercially-available glaze? PLEASE note that I don't mix my own for various reasons, so unless you're going to mix it for me and mail it (an option I'm not averse to if someone is willing), I have to go the commercial route. Any brand is fine, but it needs to be either ^05 or ^6. Suggestions? Thank you all in advance! ...not my personal preference in colors, but it's not going in MY house.

Min 3,250 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 would an underglaze with a commercial clear over work? Duncan has a neon green that is pretty close. CN505 Duncan Concepts line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GiselleNo5 487 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Link to an item I've sold: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/200353319 (Ignore the lavender, sorry, I just want to show the green) It's a Duncan Concepts underglaze, Light Kiwi, can be fired to Cone 05 or Cone 5, works well and pretty much the same color at either temp. It's a very lime-y green, quite nice and behaves well. This is probably not the right color but I really like it: Laguna Spring Green MS-74, Cone 5, very nice, not prone to bubbling. A little more of a cool green than you shared, but more vibrant than it appears to be in this photo. A very nice glaze and very pleasant to work with. Doesn't give any trouble.

neilestrick 4,454 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I use the Spectrum Lime Green. It's good stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Hott 1 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Amaco has a mid-fire Pear Celadon....it's pretty "brilliant". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nancy S. 22 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks, everyone! I had thought about underglaze as an alternative option. Question about the Spectrum Lime - is it transparent or opaque? I'm using a darker clay right now, but will likely switch back to a white or buff when this box is gone.

Karen B 27 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I have used Gare Lime Light. Which comes in a pint jar. Nice and shiny. Good for 06 - 04. http://www.gare.com/search.cfm#!prettyPhoto I have used a few of their other greens too, but I think Lime Light matches best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lostinafog 0 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Spectrum Lime is opaque though less so when it's thin, This is Lime Green on Texture Autumn, though I don't remember if I did two or three coats of the Lime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
