Transparent Clears (Fluxes)

Fire at 1450-1550°F  (780 - 850ºC) for 3 - 5 minutes or until all copper oxide is dissolved.

2007. A soft fusing clear that easily absorbs copper oxide.

2008. A low expansion clear used as the base coat for the crackle technique when Liquid Form Water Base enamels are used for the second coat. It is also good as a cover coat when working on titanium white steel panels.

2009. This soft fusing clear will clear up on copper on the first firing. It may produce 'break up' or 'pull through' when a subsequent coat of enamel is fired high.

2010. This soft fusing clear will clear up on copper on the first firing but requires more time and/or temperature than 2009. It may produce 'break up' or 'pull through' when a subsequent coat of enamel is fired high.

2015. This medium fusing clear has a gold colour similar to Thompson lead bearing 1005 or 426. It works well under warm colours.

2020. This clear does not 'yellow' on silver. It should always be used when a clear enamel is needed on silver as the first coat. It may also be used on copper and gold. It is also the clear transparent that is suggested to be used as a final cover coat in that it has a lower expansion than most of the other transparent clears.

2030. This clear is the best all-purpose clear. It works well under other enamels, opaques and transparents. Fire sufficiently to dissolve all copper oxide (reddish-brown colour). One or two re-firings may be required.

2040. This clear is harder than the above transparent clears. It is the least likely to develop 'pull through' when applying subsequent applications of enamel. It should be fired sufficiently to dissolve all copper oxide.
