Application Notes

• Product preparation: Before application, mix the product thoroughly until it reaches a uniform consistency.
• Surface preparation: The surface must be clean, dry, dust-free, and free from grease before application.
• Brush application: Apply the engobe in thin, even coats to achieve a balanced, opaque surface. Allow the surface to dry between coats.
• Dipping application: The dipping method may be preferred to achieve a smoother, more even surface without brush marks.
• Application timing: The engobe can be applied to leather-hard or completely dry, unfired clay bodies.
• Glossy surface: To achieve a glossy appearance, apply a suitable transparent or artistic glaze after bisque firing and fire the piece a second time.
• Clay body effect: The color may appear clearer and more vibrant on white clay and warmer and darker on red clay.
