On greenware, let the piece dry completely, then bisque fire to cone 04.

About this glaze
V-353 Dark Green is a rich, saturated green from AMACO's Velvet underglaze line, in a 2 oz jar. Brush it onto wet clay, greenware or cone 04 bisque for leaves, bands and painted detail. AMACO describes it as bright at cone 05, a forest green at cone 5 and a little darker again at cone 10, so it holds up across the full range. A clear glaze deepens it considerably. Pick the clear with care: AMACO recommends its zinc-free HF-9 clear over this green, because a zinc clear such as HF-10 can shift the color.
