Application Notes

• Mixing: Stir the product regularly before and during application to ensure that the color-producing components remain evenly distributed.
• Surface preparation: The bisque surface must be clean, dry, free from grease and thoroughly dust-free before application.
• First coat: Apply the first coat thickly and evenly, then allow it to dry sufficiently before applying the second coat.
• Second coat: Apply the second coat evenly and thickly across the form to increase color intensity and improve surface uniformity.
• Coat direction: The second coat may be applied in a different direction from the first to help minimize brush marks and variations in coverage.
• Transparency effect: Due to its semi-transparent character, the underlying clay color, surface texture and decorative details may remain partially visible after firing.
• Thickness control: Variations in application thickness may alter the color intensity and level of transparency.
• Form effect: Glaze may accumulate in recessed, curved and horizontal areas, creating sections with a deeper and darker green color.
• Firing: Fire the product between 1030°C and 1060°C.
• Clay body selection: The green shade and semi-transparent character may appear more clearly 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.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the appearance of the glazed surface.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the workspace is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
