Raised Accent Colors

RAC 0-16 - Raised Accent Colors (RACs) are slip-based colors (or engobes) which are available in 2 oz. applicator pens with a fine metal tip for decorating on greenware or bisque. They create embossed or raised designs on ceramic decorative work because the colors do not flatten out when they are fired. They are also available in 16 oz. squeeze bottles, which can be used to refill the pens or which can be used for other slip trailing applications.



HOW TO KEEP THE METAL TIP FROM PLUGGING The liquid in an RAC pen is a type of colored slip and like any other slip it will harden in the pen tip unless you do something to prevent it. We recommend taking a staple from your stapler and straightening out one end to use as a reamer to push into the metal tip. It is helpful to leave the staple in the tip when the pen is not in use to prevent clogging. When you are finished using the pen for the day, the metal tip should be removed from the plastic nipple and the clear plastic cover replaced on the bottle to prevent the pen from drying out. Also when you have an empty pen you should clean it out and fill it with water. After you have finished using a metal tip you should screw it onto the pen filled with water and squeeze water through the tip to clean it out. Letting a used tip soak in water will help prevent hardening and plugging.

HOW TO REFILL AN RAC PEN In order to refill an RAC pen, you first unscrew the black plastic cap from the top of the bottle. Then using the 16 ounce RAC refill bottles you squeeze more of the same color slip into the bottle. Since the slip is quite thick you may need to tap the bottle on a hard surface a few times as you refill it to get the liquid to settle to the bottom of the bottle.
