When
using agents for mixing a powder stain or
enamel, one might consider squeegee oil, a pungent thick oil that completely fires
out and leaves a wonderful gloss. Used
only for trace lines or total fills. NOT for matting. To thin, if needed,
use mineral spirits.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Squeegee oil is a
poisonous substance…treat accordingly. Ventilate room well where painting and
firing your kiln. Take precautions
to wash hands well and consider wearing
a mask. For sensitive skin, wear rubber
gloves.
