Horse Breeds Decal Sheet

This decal sheet carries nine horse illustrations printed in warm golden-yellow metallic tones. The horses are shown in a range of poses that suggest different breeds: some rear up on hind legs, others stretch into a full-stride gallop, and several stand calmly in profile, one wearing a bridle. The consistent warm gold coloring gives the set a cohesive look that reads well on clear or lightly tinted glass.

Each image is a water-slide transfer that fires directly onto the surface of pre-fired glass. Because the decal sits on top of the glass rather than fusing as a compatible layer, it works with any COE glass. Cut out a single horse, soak it briefly in water, slide it off the backing onto a clean, dry pre-fired piece, smooth out trapped water and bubbles, and let the piece dry completely before loading the kiln.

What horse poses are shown on this sheet?
The nine decals each depict a distinct horse: rearing figures, horses in mid-gallop, and standing profiles, one with a bridle. The variety highlights the different proportions and movement styles across breeds.

Will these decals work on my glass?
Yes. Water-slide decals fire onto the surface of glass rather than fusing as a compatible layer, so they work on any pre-fired glass regardless of COE.

How do I apply a decal from this sheet?
Cut out a single decal and soak it in room-temperature water for about thirty seconds until the transfer loosens from its backing. Slide it onto clean, dry, pre-fired glass, use a soft squeegee or fingertip to remove bubbles and excess water, and let it dry fully before firing.

Do these gold decals fire differently?
Yes. This is a single-color metallic sheet, so fire it toward the lower end of its range to keep the gold dense. See the Working Notes for the full schedule.

Working Notes

Apply decals only to clean, grease-free pre-fired glass. Cut closely around each horse shape to minimize the visible carrier film after firing. Allow the piece to dry completely before kiln loading, as residual moisture can cause lifting or blistering. The warm gold tone is a single-color metallic, so fire toward the lower end of the range.

Suggested Firing Schedule (a starting point only, not a guarantee of results): This is a single-color decal, so fire toward the lower end of its range to keep the image dense. Ventilate the kiln well up to 1000 degrees F and fire slowly below 500 degrees F. Every kiln fires differently, so test a small piece first and anneal for the thickness of your glass.
50 degrees per hour to 185 degrees F, hold 20 min.
150 degrees per hour to 300 degrees F, hold 15 min.
250 degrees per hour to 500 degrees F, hold 15 min.
600 degrees per hour to 1000 degrees F, hold 10 min.
Then to 1240 to 1370 degrees F, hold about 10 min.
Anneal for the thickness of your glass.
