I'm based in Germany and can't find the L 407 Heraeus overcoat anywhere (odd as seems they are a german company) - does anyone know where I can order it or if they've stopped production? What is the overcoat made of? Thinking of making my own at this point - perhaps some kind of gum
thank you the video. Could his be done for glass decals? do you need different ink? mind you I know nothing about screen printing. I'm a glassblower and would like to make my own glass decals. Thanks
Danny Mumbles yes you need change the ink, actually it is glass color power and you need mix with flux oil before print. sorry I don't know exactly how to tell you the name of materials because of my pool English.
I love your video but am in the US - do you know where I can purchase the Heraeus products you are using (oil and covercoat?) I don't mind getting overseas as well. Thank you!
Kathy I make decals and fire them in a kiln there are several suppliers in Australia but the one I use is Elliot ,Fay & Paul Good ( Interdec Australia Pty Ltd 53 Galway Avenue Marleston SA 5033 Phone 061 08 83714100 or fax 0883714142 I don't know if they have a website , they supply the duplex paper , ceramic glazes , glass glazes , medium oils to mix with the glazes and cover coat . the duplex paper is 200gram weight paper that has glue in one side after you print on the paper and over coat you cut out your print and stick the print into a bowl of water that melts the glue and releases the transfer . I found buying the glazes in powder form and oil medium separate then mixing them as I need them is the best way , you can buy it premixed but after storage in a bottle the glazes go hard and you need a special machine to rejuvenate it , I use a spatula and a tile to mix my glazes making sure there are no lumps in mix as it will cut your screen as you drag your squeegee across. The cover coat is like a varnish and it is used to hold your printed images together after you have released it in the water otherwise the images would separate ( ie - a name or text would separate to individual letters ) I print my print on the paper pin the dried sheets on a board and spray the cover-coat over the sheets with small spray-gun it dries almost instantly the ceramic glazes fire at 750 deg C and the glass glazes fire at around 480deg C I don't make multi colour prints as you need to make a separate screen for each colour instead I choose to hand paint my colours and refire my ceramics , that can be refired as many times as you like , The cover coat burns off at about 300deg C and doesn't leave any residue or marks I sometimes thin my cover-coat with thinners to spray and sometimes use turps in my glazes to thin ( not much) the glaze dries very quick when you try to screen it and sometimes you need to clean your screen to get a good print image
I'm - Bjarne Nielsen - who made this video and these decals, I think it's best that I'm also the one who answer questions about how I do it. Terry Lazaroff As I said in the video, I fire both the first glaze firering and the second with decals at the same temperature and in the same kiln. I have tried to fire at 850 degrees Celsius, but then you can see a shadow after the covercoat in the glaze. Danny Mumbles: I have never made decals on glass. But a friend og mine is a glassblower, and I know he has made decals with same sort of stains. MsMonanna: My silkscreen is a yellow one, 100 mesh.
i think the point here if to make artisan product not factory made product. Yes I'm sure your factory in China can made a ton of cheap decals that are great for ceramic factories and cheesy corporate coffee cups. But some people still make handmade and the people wanting to buy handmade don't want factory decals.
Thank you a lot of sharing this great technique. I was right that this is possible at home. ✨☺️🙏
I could watch Bjarne over and over. Such technique.
Thank you for this video. May we have a list of products used. That would be very helpful.
Amazing the old schools.I loved.
Love that jazzzzzzzz!
Nice work! What is exactly the cover coat? tks
thank you very much.best greetings from turkey.very teachfull video.
great Video

Thanks for sharing your technique, well done. Can you share the mixing percentage of ink and encapsulated stain?
I just use encapsulated stains and silkscreen oil. I mix oil and stains to a creamy consistency suitable for screen printing.
Bjarne, Thank you so much ! It is a very helpful video. I also make my own decals. This video has given me more knowledge. Do you have a website?
Nice
Which paper your are using?
Although more sophisticated printing techniques manual screen printing yet more sated taste there own.
What is the name of the overcoat that is used?
What is the silkscreen mesh number? Thank you

Very cool.
Mr Nielsen i was wonder if you be so cain to let me know what you are using is overcoat? Thank you
Where can I buy the cover coat? I can’t even find in on the heraeus website.
I can't believe someone disliked your video. Have you tried to do the same process with rice paper.
The silkscreen oil is meant fo screen printing. Mixing anything will be heavier, isn't it? Do you use color silkscreen oil or clear? Thanks
Mix should be like syrup. I use silk screen oil no. 221 from Heraeus, clear, and silk screen 100 mesh.
Is there a book on this process? If so what is the name and where can I buy the book.
Thanks Bjarne. One last question, I hope you don't mind. When you fire once more at the same glaze temperature, how long?
Second giring at same temp. as first, 1270 degree Celsius
Bjarne Nielsen
1270℃，i think it's for glaze. the decal normaly we chooce 780℃ , am i right?
No!
The second firering at same time and same temp. as the first. That means I can fire items with and without decals in the same kiln.
Question about the cover coat. Does it show after the firing?
Terry Lazaroff no. the usage of it is to keep all the color and shape complete before you transfer them from paper to porcelain
Thank you for your reply, however you did not answer the question. Does the cover coat show as a raised surface^
He said "no"above. Doesn't show.
I thought this was really helpful... until I tried to find the products needed. Guess I'll have to find another route.
I want this page
I'm - Bjarne Nielsen - who made this video and these decals, I think
it's best that I'm also the one who answer questions about how I do it.

MsMonanna: My silkscreen is a yellow one, 100 mesh.
Bjarne Nielsen What is the name of the paper, paints and varnishes?
it's too slow. my factory produce the same kind decal and with high producing rate.
i think the point here if to make artisan product not factory made product. Yes I'm sure your factory in China can made a ton of cheap decals that are great for ceramic factories and cheesy corporate coffee cups. But some people still make handmade and the people wanting to buy handmade don't want factory decals.
can you tell me your company name? and give me your wechat number? my mail is datphu2010@gmail.com
