Highlights
- Crimson that is brightest at cone 05 and turns a deep wine red at cone 5

- Brush on wet clay, greenware or cone 04 bisque; AMACO shows it layered under O-21 Aquamarine
- AP seal, conforms to ASTM D-4236; food safe only under an approved clear glaze (AMACO LG-10 or HF-9)

About this glaze
V-382 Red is a crimson from AMACO's Velvet underglaze line, sold in a 2 oz jar that suits testing a color or painting detail. Brush it on wet clay, greenware or cone 04 bisque. Left bare, it fires to a soft, velvety surface; under a clear glaze the color gets richer. AMACO notes the red is brightest at cone 05, turns a deep wine red at cone 5, and goes brownish and starts to burn out at cone 10, so it is best kept to low and mid-fire work. Like the rest of the line, it stays put in the kiln, which suits sgraffito and painted designs.
