Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The soft and fresh surface effect of 6105 Light Lilac glaze can be paired with the following shades:

Application Notes

• Surface preparation: The bisque-fired surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust before application.
• Mixing: Stir the product regularly before and during application to ensure that the pigments and glaze components remain evenly distributed.
• Baumé adjustment: Adjust the product density according to the selected application method and verify it using a suitable Baumé hydrometer.
• Spray gun application: When using a compressor and spray gun, preparing the product within a Baumé range of 38-40°Bé is recommended.
• Dipping application: For dipping, preparing the product within a Baumé range of 40-42°Bé is recommended.
• Brush application: For the standard product, leave the container undisturbed for at least 12 hours. Excess water that collects on the surface can then be carefully removed with a syringe to achieve a brushable consistency.
• 250 ml concentrated product: This option contains less water and a higher pigment concentration and can be applied directly with a brush after being mixed thoroughly.
• Coat application: Apply the glaze to the surface in even coats, avoiding excessively thick or uneven areas.
• Moisture control: After application, allow the surface moisture to dissipate. Place the piece in the kiln only after it has reached a suitable level of dryness.
• Cellulose use: If the dipping consistency cannot be adjusted, experienced users may add 1% cellulose to the product.
• Cellulose dissolution: Cellulose may take time to dissolve completely. Insufficiently dissolved cellulose can cause lumps in the glaze, so do not apply the mixture until it is fully homogeneous.
• Color transitions: The glaze can be applied as a single color, or combined with complementary and similar shades to create graduated surfaces and original patterns.
• Underglaze decoration: Since 6105 Light Lilac may create an opaque or semi-opaque colored surface, it can reduce the visibility of underglaze designs or cover them completely.
• Overglaze decoration: Once glaze firing is complete, the surface can be decorated with compatible overglaze colors. Follow the separate firing schedule recommended for the selected color.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining it with other colored glazes, check the color transitions, chemical compatibility, and flow behavior on a test tile.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure adequate ventilation in the work area. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and store it at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
