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 for a saturated metallic surface.
• Coat application: Allow each coat to dry and brush each new coat in a different direction to achieve a more uniform covering.
• Dipping and spray application: Add 5-10% water according to the required application consistency. Add the water gradually and in a controlled manner.
• Metallic character: The metallic appearance may vary with application thickness. Thicker areas may appear darker and more intense, while thinner areas may develop lighter gray and silver tones.
• Clay body selection: White clay produces clearer gray and silver tones. The metallic character and surface color may vary on dark, red, or grogged clay bodies.
• Vertical forms: Apply carefully on vertical surfaces, as thicker applications may increase the risk of glaze runs.
