Application Notes

• Mixing: Stir the product regularly before and during application to distribute the pigments 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 applied coat to lose its surface moisture before proceeding with the next coat.
• Thickness effect: Color intensity, metallic appearance and misty transitions may vary between thinly and thickly applied areas.
• Form effect: The glaze may pool in recessed and textured areas, creating darker shadows and more distinct transitions.
• Dilution: For spraying or dipping, add water in small amounts and avoid over-diluting the product.
• Clay body effect: Metallic-looking transitions may appear more pronounced on white clay. Different clay body colors may alter the final shade and surface character.
• Firing: Peak temperature, kiln atmosphere and cooling schedule may affect the color transitions and surface gloss.
• Flow control: Monitor glaze movement on vertical forms and leave an appropriate unglazed safety margin near the base.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test the color compatibility, surface interaction and potential amount of flow on a sample tile.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the workspace is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Store the product tightly sealed at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
