Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product regularly before and during application to ensure an even distribution of the color- and effect-forming components.
• Surface preparation: The bisque surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust before application.
• Coat application: Apply the glaze in smooth, even coats and allow each coat to dry before applying the next.
• Sample number of coats: The sample shown in the product image was prepared by applying 3 coats over a white clay body.
• Thickness effect: As the number of coats and application thickness change, the intensity of the pink tone and distribution of the silvery effects may vary.
• Clay body selection: Pink and silvery transitions may appear more pronounced on white and light-colored clay bodies. Dark or colored bodies may produce different results.
• Flow control: Preparing vertical test tiles is particularly recommended to observe glaze movement under your firing conditions.
• Form effect: Glaze accumulating on vertical, horizontal, recessed, and curved areas may produce different color intensities and surface transitions.
• Firing schedule: Peak temperature, hold time, kiln atmosphere, and cooling schedule may alter the glaze's final color and effect.
• Firing: Fire the product between 1040°C-1060°C using a schedule suitable for the selected clay body.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test color compatibility, chemical interaction, and flow on a sample tile.
• Food use: After firing, inspect food-contact surfaces for crazing, pinholes, and similar surface defects.
• Care: Avoid abrasive cleaning products to preserve the effect finish.
• Safety: Use suitable personal protective equipment during application and ensure adequate ventilation in the working area.
• Storage: Store the product at room temperature with the lid tightly closed and away from direct sunlight. Protect from freezing.
