Application Notes

• Mixing: Stir the product thoroughly before and during application to ensure even distribution of the color-producing components.
• Coat application: Apply the glaze in even coats and carefully control the thickness across the entire form.
• Thickness effect: Lighter red tones may appear in thinner areas, while thicker areas may develop deeper red tones and more pronounced flow patterns.
• Flow control: Consider that the glaze may move downward on vertical forms and leave areas near the base unglazed.
• Kiln shelf protection: Fire pieces on a protective catch plate or suitable kiln shelf separator to protect the kiln shelf from possible glaze runs.
• Thinning: For spraying, dipping, or pouring applications, add water gradually in small amounts and avoid excessive dilution.
• Form effect: Glaze may accumulate in recessed, curved, and horizontal areas, producing deeper red tones and dynamic transitions.
• Clay body selection: Red tones may appear more prominent on white and light-colored high-fire clay bodies, while results may vary on darker bodies.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test chemical compatibility, color interaction, and flow behavior on a test tile.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the glossy finish and artistic surface character.
• Safety: Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during application, and the work area should be adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed, store at room temperature, and protect from direct sunlight.
