Application Notes

• Brush application: The product is supplied ready to use at a consistency suitable for brush application. Applying 3 coats on white clay is recommended to achieve the characteristic metallic effect shown in the visual sample.
• Coat application: Allow each coat to dry and brush each new coat in a different direction to achieve a more balanced covering.
• Metallic character: Changes in application thickness, number of coats, and firing temperature may affect the intensity of the metallic effects and the green-bronze transitions across the surface.
• Dipping and spray application: Add 5-10% water according to the required application consistency. Add water gradually to preserve the glaze’s coverage and effect intensity.
• Clay body selection: Green and bronze tones appear more prominently on white clay bodies. Red, dark, or grogged bodies may produce darker, more rustic results.
• Vertical forms: Due to its artistic and fluid character, thicker applications may run. Apply carefully and maintain controlled thickness on vertical surfaces.
