Amaco Glazes currently in production are being labeled to indicate their suitability for use on food and drink containers. See information below on this subject or refer to the Ceramic Color chart or the individual catalog glaze listings for special information concerning lead and/or cadmium content and release.

Amaco Liquid Glazes are supplied in non-breakable plastic jars, and are prepared by homogenizing to the correct consistency for easy brushing. Only stirring is necessary before application. For spraying and dipping, glazes may be thinned with water.

Amaco Dry Powder Glazes are packaged in sturdy plastic jars suitable for storage after mixing. Since they already contain the appropriate amount of gum and suspenders, only water need be added. One pound yields approximately one pint. Sieving is recommended.
