Seramiksir Turquoise Blue Engobe AST 058 - 175 g

Seramiksir Turquoise Blue AST 058 is an engobe developed to create an even, vibrant turquoise blue base on white, red, and naturally colored clay bodies. It can be applied to leather-hard or completely dry, unfired clay surfaces and produces a natural, matte, and opaque appearance after firing. It can be used to conceal the color of the clay body, smooth the surface, and prepare a vibrant, distinctive base for subsequent decoration or glazing.

Food Safety: Before using on items intended to come into contact with food, it is recommended to test the engobe, the glaze applied over it, and the clay body under your own application and firing conditions.

Application Notes

  • Surface preparation: Apply the engobe to a clean, dust-free, unfired clay surface. Leather-hard surfaces may provide more consistent adhesion.
  • Preparation: Before application, mix the product thoroughly until all material settled at the bottom is completely dispersed.
  • Brush application: Suitable for localized decoration or full-surface coverage. Apply each coat in a different direction to achieve even coverage.
  • Dipping application: This method may be preferred to achieve more even, smooth surfaces without brush marks.
  • Sgraffito application: Once the engobe reaches leather hardness, the surface can be carved to reveal the color of the clay underneath.
  • Drying: After application, allow the piece to dry completely before bisque firing.
  • Bisque firing: Once completely dry, fire the piece using a program suitable for the clay body being used.
  • Glazing: The natural matte appearance can be retained, or a transparent or colored glaze can be applied after bisque firing.
  • Color characteristics: The clay color, application thickness, and firing temperature may affect the turquoise blue tone and opacity of the engobe.
  • Clay compatibility: Incompatible shrinkage rates between the engobe and clay may cause cracking, blistering, or separation from the surface.
Important Recommendation: Compatibility between the engobe and clay body, the final turquoise blue tone, and surface integrity may vary depending on application thickness, clay moisture content, and firing schedule. Before large-scale application, testing on sample tiles prepared with your own clay and kiln firing schedule is recommended.
