Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product regularly before and during application to distribute the colorants and surface-forming components evenly.
• Surface preparation: The bisque-fired surface must be clean, dry and free from dust.
• Coat application: The effect shown in the sample image was achieved by applying three brush coats over white clay.
• Drying between coats: Allow the previous coat to release its surface moisture before applying the next coat.
• Thickness effect: Application thickness may affect the intensity of the brown tone, surface gloss and appearance of the reactive transitions.
• Form effect: The glaze may collect in recessed, curved and textured areas, producing darker brown tones and more pronounced transitions.
• Dilution: For spraying or dipping applications, add water in small amounts and avoid over-diluting the product.
• Clay body effect: Warm brown tones may appear more pronounced on white clay. Different clay colors may alter the final tone and surface character.
• Firing: Peak temperature, kiln atmosphere and cooling schedule may affect the glaze’s color transitions and gloss.
• Flow control: Monitor glaze movement on vertical forms and leave an appropriate safety margin near the base.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test the color compatibility, surface interaction and potential flow on a test tile.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the working area is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the product tightly closed at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
