Application Notes

• Preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application until a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Consistency: The product may retain water within its body and become thicker during storage. If this occurs, add water gradually and in controlled amounts, then mix until a uniform consistency is restored.
• Brush application: The glaze can be applied directly to a clean, dry bisque surface. Applying 3 coats is recommended to achieve a result similar to the visual sample.
• Drying between coats: Allow the surface to dry before applying the next coat, and brush each coat in a different direction for even distribution.
• Color character: As the number of coats and application thickness increase, the antique turquoise tone, dark blue variegation, and reactive surface movement may become more pronounced.
• Clay body selection: White clay bodies may produce brighter and more pronounced turquoise tones, while darker or colored bodies may produce deeper and more variable results.
• Flow control: Before use on vertical forms, prepare a test tile to observe glaze movement and color transitions.
• Storage: Keep the product tightly closed at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and protect it from freezing.
