Does anyone have any experience with Duncan Liquid Crystals? I bought a =
bunch of it from my local ceramics store because it was in their =
discounted basket. I tested it on some bisque, and it came out =
beautiful. The colors were very brilliant. My question is, it says they =
are to be used to accent, drape, and for other special effects over =
unfired glaze. I tested it alone, not over any other glaze, and it =
seemed to work. Are these colors made for total coverage, and are they =
opaque? They seem difficult to work with due to their thick consistency =
and they are also toxic. If anyone has any experience with these glazes =
that would be great.
