Decalstick is used in the decoration of ceramic and earthenwere, allowing the application of the transfer decal directly on the wet glaze.

The covercoat of the decal is dissolved, therefore one firing is eliminated because the glaze and the transfer decal are fired together.

After firing the colours of the decal remain under the glaze..

Application

Decalstick must be applied (by brush or sprayed) a few seconds after the piece of biscuit has been dipped into the liquid glaze.

Then the decal is slipped off the paper onto the Decalstick.

The piece must be left to dry at room temperature for a least 7 hours, or until the surface of the decal is no longer shiny. After that is possible to fire the object in the kiln.

For best results we recommend using decals made with our covercoat 440F.
