Instructions


Specific gravity: 1.40. Of these recipes, Nancy’s Pink Icing was the most difficult to get a good test. I tested it on white and brown stoneware with noticeable color response differences. The surface is a pleasing silk matte and is completely opaque. Extreme accuracy is required when mixing to result in a strong pink.
