PARADISE GLASS ENAMEL PAINTS - BLACK 2 once jars for Blowing, Fusing or Stained

Description

Rare and out of production, here are 2 full 2-ounce jars of BLACK Paradise Glass Enamel Paints for warm glass (fusing) or hot glass (blowing), as well as use in stained glass work.
They are unused and have not dried up or degraded.  They just need a little stirring and you're good to go!
If you work with glass enamels, you know that Paradise & Co. was known for its bold, strong colors. Unfortunately, the factory burned to the ground in a fire several years ago (not the fires last year, but earlier) and never resumed operations.  Here's some information copied from the Warm Glass website:
Paradise Paints are enamels that are made and marketed by Paradise & Co., which was located in Paradise, California, USA.  The enamels are very popular with glassblowers and can also be used for many kiln based projects.
Paradise Paints, which are lead-based, are
available in two different forms -- powder you mix with the binder of your choice and also pre-mixed with a pine oil binder.
The enamels were available in
seven opaque colors, but they can be mixed like oil or acrylic paints.  (There is a special toning white to use for mixing only; the regular white doesn't mix as well.)  They can be applied in a variety of ways, including painting, airbrushing, brayering, screen printing, rubber stamp, and more.  They're also compatible with almost any stained glass or float glass, and can be used on ceramics or steel as well as glass.
One advantage of Paradise Paints is that
they can be fired to a range of temperatures.  They are matte at 1150F/620C and full gloss by 1400F/760C.  When firing, vent the kiln until the temperature reaches 500F/260C. This allows the binder to burn off.  If you fire too quickly without burning off the binder, the red will turn brown and the enamels can bubble (especially if stacking glass for fusing).  Fired properly, the colors are very intense.  They're also permanent and able to withstand second and third firings if necessary.
This (and my other listing for a full color set) may be the only known new-old stock of Paradise Paint on the planet.  Don't miss the opportunity to grab these!  And domestic shipping is free!
