Hi Pam and all,
The Gare velvet underglazes are exactly the same product as the Amaco
velvets. Amaco sold most of their colors to Gare awhile back. These will
fuse together at cone 10. The velvets have enough flux in them to stand
alone. They are not engobes.
As for the colors, I don't use high fire so I cannot discuss it first
hand. But I have heard good reports on these colors at cone 10.
I'd like to hear your report on the various colors at cone 10, just for
curiosity. It would be great if you would report to the list on your results!
