Food coloring in 'glaze paint'
I want students to be able to see the 'blue' they are painting on with
cobalt. Has anyone played with adding food coloring to cobalt? |

Well I posted too soon. I had thought my search on clayart archives had
come up empty. It hadn't. More info there than I would have thought. It seems that food coloring is used for more reasons than I had in mind including being able to seen where the white glaze on white clay has been applied (so I guess the answer is that yes it does burn out ok.... but then there was a post of "blue Kool-Aid" glaze whose recipe called for blue Kool-Aid....

I have used food colouring in brush wax and latex, you're right, just burns out fine. Annemarie "dkat" wrote in message ... Well I posted too soon.

I use a resist that is clear, but you can get a packet of blue dye from
the clay supply store to put in it so you can see where you put it. I have no idea what is in it, but it is very strong and burns out. -- Lee in Mashiko, Japan http://mashiko.org http://hankos.blogspot.com/ Visual Bookmarks "I seem most instinctively to believe in the human value of creative writing, whether in the form of verse or fiction, as a mode of truth-telling, self-expression and homage to the twin miracles of creation and consciousness." -- John Updike |

is that "kool-aid" as in "teh electric kool-aid acid tests?? Maybe they
didn't need the extra mileage ingredient, it was just the blue dye.... Tee Hee Eddie (the superannuated hippie) 'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what that reality is.

Glad we never gave our kids bug juice (our name for Kool-aid) though I had more than my fair share of it as a kid - that could explain a lot. |

Never had Kool-Aid but as a kid we had high sugar cordial some of the time. I gave my kids juice some of the time, but mostly they drank - wait for it - water ) They are 15 and 20 now |

That was supposed to be something like freeze-dried orange juice. Probably tasted a lot better when the nearest orange tree was hundreds of miles below!

In certain situations we are asked about colouring materials to aid
identity and we always recommend food colours, which because of their use are non-toxic and burn out without trace. For example we sell a colloidal silica for spraying onto Ceramic Fibre to harden the surface against degradation by gas, oil, or wood flame. This comes as a clear liquid, so without a dye in it, it is virtually impossible to see where you've sprayed. I first came across this when our kids when to a party where ALL the food was dyed green. Unsurprisingly not a lot of it was eaten! Steve Bath UK In article , annemarie annemarie.butler@paradise ..net.nz writes "dkat" wrote in message ... "annemarie" wrote in message ...
