Hi:
I would like to know if anyone knows what type of paint can be used on
regular glazed (comercial) tiles. Paints that can go to the kiln and
become permanent.
Thank you
Hilda

Hi Hilda,
if you mean glazes (not paints), Duncan makes a product called "Concepts"
and Mayco makes one called "Stroke & Coat" - both are designed to go on
over previously glazed & fired ware. You can also use Duncan's E-Z Stroke,
but the colors are not as intense.
Hope this helps,
Valice in Sacramento

Hi Hilda, I have used Amaco overglazes on top of factory fired glazes. You
fire to ^017 I think I remember right. You have to re-fire for any
satisfactory shading. I thought the end result was so-so. Anyone else have
experience with this? I ordered my over glazes from Bennett Clay and Pottery
supply in Ochee, FL. Good luck. Sue Davis

Hilda,
Here at BPS we've used on-glaze enamels, brush-on glazes, standard
earthenware glazes with a bit of wallpaper paste in etc. They all work.
The big trick is to test fire one of the tiles at the temperature you
intend to work at to make sure they're OK. Some glazes "sugar" at on-
glaze temperatures i.e start to gas which then fixes when they cool,
making the surface feel like sugar grains. Try 'em all, have fun.
Steve.

I decorated some commercial tiles for a new bathroom addition with low fire
commercial glazes. It took about three application layers per color which I
allowed to dry between each application but it worked beautifully. They
looked terrific.
I wish I could say the same about some tiles I'm making right now where I've
made all the tiles and the glazes and I'm going into my third firing to make
them look good.

Dinah,
At what temp did you fire them at then? The recommended temp for the
glaze? Was it commercial glaze or under glaze?

Lori
When I glazed the commercial tile I used low temp glazes and fired to ^06 as
recommended by manufactuer. I used both Duncan and Ceramachrome glazes, not
underglazes. I can't imagine how underglazes, like onestrokes would work. Has
anyone ever tried that successfully?

Dinah,
You can use Amaco Velvets (Rewards) at 06, especially for example, V336 Royal Bl
which is already on the tile, lots of other velvets work in the same way.
