I know this is not about pottery, but I am experimenting with glass. Does
anyone know of any premixed colorants that can be used to airbrush on
fusible glass and can be fired to ~1500 degrees ? Any help would be very
much appreciated.
TIA,

Hello,
You can use Duncan EZ Strokes or Mayco One Strokes to airbrush with and they
will fire that high. I wonder if anyone has tried this? Airbrushing glazes
onto glass that is?

Quite a few of the duncan EZ strokes will still be there after a cone10

We have airbrushed Onglazes and Glass paints onto glass.
I have brushed a Raku type glaze onto glas which has
looked terrific. The reason I used a Raku glaze is that it
melts at a lower temperature. We only go up to about 800C
when fusing and slumping glass. Ralph in PE SA

The Duncan EZ strokes may last to ^10 (assuming you don't choose apple red
or something), but the glass will be a molten pool.
Glazing of glass is an established art, known as staining, or stained
glass. Most "stained" glass we see today is not actually stained, but,
rather, pieced colored glass. For examples of true stained glass, see some
of the older Tiffany windows. The staining I've seen is in the form of
faces and other delicate features glazed onto the glass.
No need to re-invent the process. Go to a good stained glass supplier and
start asking questions. You'll likely have a little trouble finding your
information, but probably not too much.
Buena Suerte,
