The varying power of different encapsulated stains

Wednesday 30th August 2017

These mugs are fired at cone 03. The outside glazes are G2931K transparent with added stain plus 3% insight-live.com/material/1724">Zircopax. The left one contains 10% Mason 6021 red. The right one has 15% Cerdec 297497 red stain. The latter is an older product, obviously not as potent. Encapsulated stains are a revolution in ceramics but test the ones available. You could save money and get better color at the same time.
