Application Notes

• Mixing: Stir the product regularly before and during application to ensure that the color- and effect-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 evenly and allow it to dry sufficiently before applying the second coat.
• Coat application: Apply at least 2 coats by brush to achieve balanced color and an even shimmering 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.
• Effect distribution: If the product is not stirred regularly, the shimmer-producing components may appear at different intensities across the surface.
• Thickness effect: The intensity of the emerald green color and the appearance of the shimmering effect may vary between thinly and thickly applied areas.
• Form effect: Glaze may accumulate in recessed, curved and horizontal areas, creating sections with a more intense green color and greater surface variation.
• 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 color and composition of the clay body may affect the appearance of the emerald green shade and shimmering effect after firing.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test the color transitions, effect distribution and surface compatibility on a test tile.
• Surface inspection: Ensure that the glazed surface of any item intended for serving hot foods is free from cracks and crazing.
• Monitoring during use: If cracks or crazing develop on the glazed surface during use, the item must no longer be used for serving food.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the glossy, shimmering 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.
