ENHANCING A DECAL

You may use china paint to enhance a decal on any item. The sky can be made more blue or the grass more green or flowers added. Whatever your desire is to enlarge the decal. If you put a decal on a porcelain item it should be fired at cone 015. If for some reason the decal has popped off then you can use china paint to repair it. If the item has been fired at a cone 06 then the decal is fired at a cone 018. WHY THE DIFFERENCE? Porcelain glaze is a high fired glaze, using cone 6 and the glaze is harder and takes hotter firing for the decal to sink in to the glaze, where cone 06 is not as hard. When using china paint you fir the item at cone 018 no matter what glaze is used. Also it might take two applications of china paint. Have fun.
