Thompson Enamel reference # GC-16 Ground Coat for Steel labeled COBALT BLUE, but actually a medium gray- 8 OZ. DRY ground coat for steel and iron.
Used as a ground coat for low carbon steel prior to enameling.
ALSO RECOMMENDED – RM 27 – FERROUS GROUND COAT FOR STEEL – This one is a very dark gray color when fired. Used by John Killmaster and Alisa Looney.
Thompson’s formula for the GC-16 Cobalt Blue*** has changed – it is not blue, but more of a gray. I brought this to their attention after a customer mentioned it to me; Thompson tested it & found the color was indeed gray and not blue.
