Application Notes

• Brush Application: Applying 3 coats over white clay is recommended to achieve a smooth, opaque, and velvety matte surface. Allow the surface to dry between coats and apply each successive coat in a different direction.
• Clay Body Selection: The color appears cleaner and more balanced on white clay bodies. Grogged, speckled, or red clay bodies may produce a more rustic glaze tone and matte surface character.
• Dipping and Spray Application: The product may be too viscous for these application methods. Add water gradually and in a controlled manner to achieve the ideal flow consistency.
• Surface Preparation: Matte glazes may make scratches, dust, and surface irregularities more visible. Before application, thoroughly clean the bisque surface of dust and foreign particles.
• Preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before use to ensure even distribution of the color components and a consistent level of matte finish.
• Application Thickness: Thin applications may appear lighter and uneven in some areas. Excessively thick applications may cause variations in surface texture and increase the risk of cracking or running.
