Application Notes

• Surface Preparation: The bisque surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust before application.
• Mixing: Mix the product thoroughly before and regularly during application to ensure that the coloring and speckle-forming components remain evenly distributed.
• Brush Application: The product is supplied as a thick liquid and can be applied directly to bisque after mixing.
• Coat Application: The effect shown in the sample image was achieved by applying 3 brush coats over a white clay body.
• Drying Between Coats: Allow the previous coat to lose its surface moisture before applying the next one.
• Spraying and Dipping: For these methods, the product’s consistency can be adjusted by gradually adding 5-10% water.
• Dilution: Add water in small amounts, mix thoroughly after each addition, and avoid excessive dilution.
• Thickness Effect: Thin applications may produce lighter lavender and lilac tones, while thicker areas may increase the density of the purple speckles and the depth of the color.
• Reactive Character: The density and distribution of the speckles and the color transitions may vary depending on application thickness, peak temperature, and cooling rate.
• Form Effect: The glaze may accumulate in recessed, textured, curved, and horizontal areas, producing darker purple tones and more pronounced transitions.
• Clay Body Selection: Lavender tones and deep purple speckles may appear more clearly on white clay bodies. Results may vary on differently colored bodies.
• Vertical Forms: Keep the application thickness controlled on vertical surfaces and leave an unglazed safety margin near the base to accommodate possible glaze movement.
• Glaze Combinations: Before combining with other glazes, check chemical compatibility, color transitions, and surface behavior on a test tile.
• Care: Hand washing with non-abrasive cleaning products is recommended to preserve the artistic surface.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the workspace is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
