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: Applying 3 coats over white bisque is recommended for a smooth, highly opaque, and evenly matte surface.
• Coat application: Allow the surface to dry completely between coats and apply each coat in a different direction to reduce brush marks.
• Matte surface: The final matte level may vary depending on application thickness, peak temperature, and cooling schedule.
• Application thickness: Very thin applications may reduce opacity. Excessively thick applications may alter the surface texture and matte level.
• Dipping and spraying: Water may be added gradually and in a controlled manner until suitable flow is achieved for the application method.
• Clay body selection: White low-fire clay bodies produce a cleaner, more neutral white appearance. Red, grogged, or dark clay bodies may alter the surface tone and texture character.
• Firing effect: Kiln atmosphere, temperature distribution, and cooling rate may affect the matte level and final white tone.
• Storage: Store the product at room temperature with the lid tightly closed and away from direct sunlight.
