Application Notes

• Mixing: Stir the product regularly before and during application to distribute the color- and speckle-producing components evenly.
• Coat application: For brush application, apply the glaze in even coats and allow sufficient drying time between coats.
• Sample information: The surface effect shown in the product image was achieved by applying 3 brushed coats over white clay.
• Thickness effect: Application thickness and the number of coats may affect the saturation of the orange base and the density of the speckles.
• Speckled effect: The size, density, and distribution of the blue and dark speckles may vary depending on mixing frequency and application method.
• Firing effect: The appearance of the orange tone, speckles, and color transitions may vary according to peak temperature, kiln atmosphere, and cooling schedule.
• Dilution: For spray and dipping applications, add water in small increments, mix thoroughly after each addition, and avoid excessive dilution.
• Form effect: Speckles may be distributed more evenly across flat surfaces, while glaze accumulation in recessed, curved, and textured areas may intensify the effect.
• Clay body selection: The orange base and blue and dark speckles may appear more pronounced on white and light-colored clay bodies. Results may vary on dark bodies.
• Surface preparation: Remove all dust and residue from the bisque surface before application.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining this product with other glazes, test chemical compatibility, color transitions, and speckle distribution on a test tile.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the work area is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the product tightly closed at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
