Gare Surface Coats for Bisque Ceramics

Gare Surface Coats are fired ceramic colours for bisque that create a shiny gloss finish without needing clear glaze. They are designed as a smooth background colour for pottery painting, giving you a ready surface for decoration with Gare Fun Strokes underglazes before firing.

This range includes 10 non-toxic colours in 473ml bottles. Apply Surface Coats to bisque, add your painted design, then fire to Cone 06 for a glossy fired finish.

How Surface Coats Are Used

  1. Apply 3 coats of Surface Coat to clean bisque.
  2. Add decoration with Fun Strokes if required.
  3. Fire to Cone 06.
  4. No clear glaze is needed.

Surface Coats work well when you want a fired background colour with a gloss finish, especially for plates, ornaments and bisque shapes that will be decorated before firing.
