AMACO Velvet V-361 Jet Black Underglaze, 2 oz
Highlights
- Cool black that darkens as it fires hotter; darkest, with a slight sheen, at cone 10
- Holds up at high fire: AMACO counts its black Velvets among the best performers at cone 9-10
- A clear glaze deepens it at any cone; SM-10 Clear Satin can mute it
- Brush on wet clay, greenware or cone 04 bisque for outlines, lettering and sgraffito
- 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). Over SM-10 Clear Satin, AMACO suggests a single coat.
- 5
Fire anywhere from cone 05 to cone 10; the black gets darker as the cone goes up.
- 6
Fire a test tile with each new batch number before glazing a full piece.

About this glaze
V-361 Jet Black is a cool, deep black from AMACO's Velvet underglaze line, in a 2 oz jar sized for line work, outlines and accents. Brush it onto wet clay, greenware or cone 04 bisque. It fires smooth and velvety at cone 05, darker at cone 5 and darkest at cone 10, where AMACO says it picks up a slight sheen. A clear glaze makes the black noticeably deeper at any temperature. AMACO notes that a satin clear can mute it, so test your clear first if you want a true, dense black.
