Which Black To Use:

  • Tracing Black #61 (#RP 1063) – has a small amount of brown stain in formula. Nice black with a hint of brown (rather than gray) in background.

  • Universal Black (#RP 1065) – quite a bit of brown added in a very opaque color.

  • Tracing Black (#RP DE401) – very high stain loading (matte). Very good for multiple firings.

  • Tracing Black Best (#RP DE458) – true opaque black, slightly less stain loading than DE401, although still a matte finish. Has a small amount of Alumina Hydrate added to stabilize color if used in mixing or firing on other colors.

REUSCHE ENAMELS

Weather resistant colors fired to 1050-1080°F. The Blacks, browns and grays make excellent choices for tracing and matting.
Sold in 1oz bottles except where noted as 1/2 oz bottles.

  • REUSCHE TRADITIONAL GLASS STAINERS COLORS = LEAD and CADMIUM FREE

    These LEAD FREE colors fire to 1150-1400°F. Reusche's Lead Free colors are recommended by most instructors to prevent inhalation of toxic metals when stippling and shading your matte or highlighting your trace lines.  The paint dust created will not contain lead, lessening any toxic exposure.  In addition, the lead free finish will not be an issue with food contact.
    Sold in 1oz bottles.

    LEAD FREE STAINERS COLORS
    will work using the same techniques as the older, traditional colors shown above

    HELPFUL HINTS:

    • Since solutions (especially the metallics) look very similar before firing, Care should be used to maintain adequate labeling of solutions.
    • Always work out of a separate container to avoid any possible contamination of the solution in the original bottle.

    • Your glass must be clean of any residue (including oil from hands) - use rubbing alcohol or acetone to clean your glass.

    • Multiple thin applications are MUCH better than 1 heavy application, which can flake.

    • Do NOT fire metallics and lusters until they are adequately dry.

    • Kiln must be vented to allow escape of the vapors from the luster solvents which can dull your finish.
