Application Notes

• Color Character: After firing, this product may develop a smoky tone ranging from anthracite to dark gray rather than a true jet-black color.
• Brush Application: Applying 2 or 3 coats is recommended to achieve a rich and opaque surface. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
• Opaque Character: Its high opacity significantly covers the underlying clay body and helps minimize the appearance of brush marks across larger surfaces.
• Clay Body Effect: White clay produces cleaner anthracite tones, while red or grogged clay bodies may result in warmer shades with subtle brown undertones.
• Dipping and Spray Application: The product may be too thick for these application methods. Add water gradually and mix thoroughly after each addition.
• Preparation and Storage: Mix thoroughly before use to ensure that the dark pigments are evenly distributed. Store in its sealed container away from direct sunlight and excessive temperatures.
