Application Notes

• Mixing: Stir the product regularly before and during application to distribute the red-speckle components evenly throughout the yellow base.
• 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 a balanced yellow base, good opacity and even speckle distribution.
• Coat direction: Coats may be applied in different directions to help minimize brush marks and variations in coverage.
• Speckle distribution: If the product is not stirred regularly during application, the red speckles may become concentrated in certain areas of the surface.
• Thickness effect: The intensity of the yellow base, opacity and appearance of the red speckles may vary between thinly and thickly applied areas.
• Form effect: Glaze may accumulate in recessed, curved and horizontal areas, creating sections with more intense color and denser speckles.
• 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 shade of the yellow base and the appearance of the red speckles after firing.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test the color transitions, speckle distribution and surface compatibility on a test tile.
• Area of use: Do not use on the interior or food-contact surfaces of vessels intended for hot foods.
• Decorative use: The product may be used on decorative objects and pottery surfaces that do not come into contact with food.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the glossy, speckled surface appearance.
• 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.
