Application Notes

• Mixing: Stir the product regularly before and during application to ensure that the color-producing components remain evenly distributed.

• 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 a uniform matte 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.
• Matte effect: The intensity of the red color and the level of surface matteness may vary between thinly and thickly applied areas.

• Clay body selection: The color and composition of the clay body may affect the intensity of the red shade and the appearance of the matte surface after firing.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test the color transitions, surface reaction and level of matteness 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: To preserve the matte surface, avoid abrasive cleaning products and wash by hand whenever possible.
