Application Notes

• Mixing: Stir the product regularly before and during application to ensure that the coloring components remain evenly distributed.
• Surface preparation: The bisque surface must be clean, dry, free from grease, and free from dust before application.
• First coat: Apply the first coat evenly and allow it to dry sufficiently before applying the second coat.
• Coat application: Apply at least 2 coats by brush to achieve even color, opacity, and a consistent surface.
• Coat direction: Coats may be applied in different directions to help minimize brush marks and variations in coverage.
• Thickness control: Ensure that the coats are applied evenly across the form and avoid excessive glaze accumulation in recessed areas, corners, and horizontal sections.
• Color effect: The intensity of the lilac shade and the surface appearance may vary between thinly and thickly applied areas.
• Form effect: Glaze thickness may increase in recessed, curved, and horizontal areas, creating more intense lilac sections.
• Firing: The product can be fired between 1020°C and 1100°C. The recommended ideal firing range is 1040°C to 1050°C.
• Clay body selection: The lilac shade may appear cleaner and more distinct on light-colored clay bodies, while results may vary on darker clay bodies.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test the color transitions and surface compatibility on a test tile.
• Surface inspection: Ensure that products intended for serving hot food have no cracks or crazing on the glazed surface.
• Monitoring during use: If cracks develop on the glazed surface during use, the item should no longer be used for serving food.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to protect the glazed surface and make it easier to monitor for possible cracking.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the work area is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Store the product tightly sealed at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
