Technical Data and Application

Recommended Color Combinations

The industrial and vintage character of Antique Bronze glaze can be paired with the following tones:

Application Notes

• Coat application: For pronounced metallic depth and a bronze patina effect, 2-3 coats by brush are recommended. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats.
• Application thickness: As thickness increases, bronze tones and metallic reflections may become stronger. With thinner applications, graphite and dark gray areas may appear more dominant.
• Clay body selection: On light-colored high-fire clay bodies, the contrast between the graphite base and bronze patina may appear more pronounced. Darker bodies may produce a more integrated and deeper metallic appearance.
• Surface effect: Metallic particles may concentrate around edges, raised details, and textured areas, creating natural aged-metal and patina transitions.
• Preparation: Mix thoroughly before use to ensure that the reactive particles responsible for the metallic reflections are evenly distributed.
