Application Notes

• Preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application until a uniform consistency is achieved.
• 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.
• Dipping and spray application: Depending on the application method, 5-10% water may be added gradually and in a controlled manner.
• Metallic character: As application thickness and the number of coats increase, the metallic anthracite appearance and dark steel reflections may become more pronounced.
• Clay body selection: Metallic color transitions may appear more clearly on white clay bodies, while dark or colored bodies may produce deeper, more integrated surfaces.
• Flow control: Before use on vertical forms, prepare a test tile to observe glaze movement and the distribution of the metallic effect across the surface.
• Storage: Keep the product tightly closed at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and protect it from freezing.
