The Fantasy Glazes are applied directly to bisque from the container. Colors may be intermixed to create even more exciting combinations than those available.Fantasy Glazes may be applied adjacent to each other and will not flow into one another so multiple effects can be applied to one piece.The Fantasy Glazes are also fully intermixable with the High Fire Glazes.APPLICATIONGenerally, to obtain optimum results, 2 – 3 coats of Fantasy Glaze should be applied using a glaze fan brush. Ensure each coat is dry before applying subsequent coats.Different methods can be used to apply the Fantasy Glaze.
