These Raised Accent Color bottles create embossed or raised designs on ceramic decorative work because the colors do not flatten out when they are fired.

HOW TO USE THEM
Shake the bottle vigorously and pour into any applicator bottle of your choosing. Then test the flow by squeezing some of the slip out on a piece of paper. This should remove any air bubbles and establish a consistent flow of slip. If the slip has become too thick to flow properly, unscrew the cap and pour 2 or 3 drops of water into the bottle. Then replace the cap and shake and test again. When you are using the applicator on a piece of greenware or bisque, hold the pen tip in contact with the piece. It makes it easier to control the writing than holding the tip above the piece and dropping the color onto the surface. Also the slight scratching of the surface improves the bonding between the slip and the piece. Do not hold the pen directly vertical while writing because this leaves no gap for the liquid to flow out of. Hold the pen at an angle to the surface so that there is an opening for the slip to flow through. Because the slip is quite thick you must write more slowly than with a pen. This allows time for the liquid to flow through the tip. You can create a large variety of line thicknesses by varying finger pressure and writing speed. The harder you press and the slower you write the thicker your lines will be.
