Binders
A binder is a liquid that is mixed with enamels to create paint of the desired consistency. We recommend and use A-14, which is a water miscible medium that is non-toxic and cleans up with water.
Our Choice
A-14 is non-toxic and cleans up with water. It works well for many applications, including painting and screen printing.
A-14 also works well for mixing with mica or similar products.
A-14 can be mixed with powdered enamels, then stored in an airtight container for a long time (even years). To reconstitute, scrape enamels out onto your palette, remix and then, if needed, add a couple drops of A-14.
For best results, do not thin or mix A-14 with water. Use water only for cleanup afterwards.
Klyr-fire is another popular medium.
Klyr-fire is not recommended for mixing with enamels for painting, but can be used as a fusing glue, mixed with micas, or in airbrushing.
New: Crystal Clear Medium
Like A-14, this medium is non-toxic and cleans up with water.
When used with powdered enamels this medium dries faster than A-14. It also fires clearer, so the colors are a bit brighter than when fired with A-14.
Do not thin or mix with water.
