Application Notes

• Product preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application until a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Surface preparation: The bisque surface must be clean, dry and free from dust before application.
• Brush application: Three coats over white bisque are recommended for a vibrant, highly opaque and evenly matte red surface.
• Coat application: Allow each coat to dry completely and apply every coat in a different direction to reduce visible brush marks.
• Matte surface: The final level of matteness may vary depending on the application thickness, peak temperature and cooling schedule.
• Application thickness: Thin applications may reduce color intensity and opacity. Excessively thick applications may create variations in the surface texture.
• Dipping and spray application: The product may be too thick for these application methods. Add water gradually and in a controlled manner until the required consistency is achieved.
• Clay selection: The red tone appears more vibrant and distinct on white clay bodies. The color and matte surface character may vary on dark or grogged clay bodies.
• Firing effect: The kiln atmosphere, temperature distribution and cooling rate may affect the final red tone and matte level.
• Storage: Keep the product tightly sealed at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
