Cover Coats colors are applied directly to greenware and are absorbed as part of the piece. There are also 16 Cover Coat colors that can be applied to bisque (check the label for details).
Cover Coats fire to an opaque, porous matte finish. A clear glaze finish is used to seal the porous surface and to brighten the underglaze colors
Cover Coats may be tinted using EZ Stroke underglazes, or other Cover Coats, to create unique custom colors. Sgraffitoing (gently scratching through the applied color to reveal the color or clay body beneath it) may be done through Cover Coat colors before they are fired to create carved designs.

Tips & Techniques
1. Cover-Coats may be tinted using E-Z
StrokesTM
or other Cover-Coats, to create unique
custom colors.
2. To create carved designs, sgraffito
(gently scratch through the applied color to
reveal the color or the clay body beneath
it).
3. Painting with Cover-Coats is similar to
painting with acrylic paints and is a great
fired alternative for a tole and decorative
painter. Colors are opaque and generally one
color covers the one beneath it. They must
be fired to ensure maturation and stability.
Clear glazes over all shows the truest
colors.
4. Cover-Coats are perfect for airbrushing
and brushwork.
5. Cover-Coats are great for layering
because they dry quickly and can be painted
over without lifting the colors underneath.
