Application Notes

• Color Character: Although the product name includes “Dark Red,” the fired glaze develops dusty pink and mauve tones rather than a red finish. The product name refers to the pigment color used in its formulation.
• Brush Application: Applying 3 coats over white clay is recommended for a rich, uniform, and opaque surface. Allow the surface to dry between coats.
• Opaque Character: Its high opacity provides strong coverage over the underlying clay body and, when applied correctly, helps minimize the appearance of brush marks.
• Consistency Adjustment: For dipping or spray application, water may be added gradually and in a controlled manner to achieve the required consistency.
• Product Preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application to ensure that the pigments and glaze components are evenly distributed.
