AMACO Velvet V-308 Yellow Underglaze, 2 oz
Highlights
- Bright lemon yellow, most vivid at cone 05
- Softer at mid-fire and pale at cone 10, per AMACO, so it is strongest in low-fire work
- Velvety when bare; a clear glaze darkens it only slightly
- Brush on wet clay, greenware or cone 04 bisque; mixable with other Velvets
- AP seal, conforms to ASTM D-4236; food safe only under an approved clear glaze (AMACO LG-10 or HF-9)
How to apply it
- 1
Apply to wet clay, greenware (leather-hard or bone-dry) or mature cone 04 bisque.
- 2
Brush on 2-3 even coats, letting each coat dry completely before the next.
- 3
On greenware, let the piece dry completely, then bisque fire to cone 04.
- 4
Leave it bare for a velvety surface, or cover with a clear glaze (AMACO uses LG-10 Clear Transparent at cone 05 and HF-9 Zinc-Free Clear at cone 5-10).
- 5
Fire anywhere from cone 05 to cone 10; it is brightest at cone 05 and pales by cone 10.

About this glaze
V-308 Yellow is a bright lemon yellow from AMACO's Velvet underglaze line, in a 2 oz jar. Brush it onto wet clay, greenware or cone 04 bisque. It is at its most vivid at cone 05; AMACO says it stays bright but less saturated at mid-fire and turns pale at cone 10, so it shines brightest in low-fire work. A clear glaze darkens it only slightly, with less effect at higher temperatures. Left bare, it keeps the soft, velvety surface the line is named for; AMACO's example vases show it at cone 5 alongside other AMACO glazes.
