• Tile (Çini) Application: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C are ideal for achieving the authentic look of historical Turkish ceramics.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable only for display-oriented projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Acrylic-finished items are not food-safe. A protective varnish is recommended after painting to keep the colors vibrant and protect the piece from dust.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and dried before applying glaze.
• Strictly follow the temperature requirements of the specific glaze type used.
• Performing a test fire is suggested to observe how the kiln atmosphere influences the final bisque color.
