Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product regularly before and during application to ensure an even distribution of the coloring and reactive components.
• Coat application: For brush application, apply 2-3 even coats to the bisque-fired surface, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
• Thickness effect: Thinner areas may display lighter plum tones, while color depth and reactive blue reflections may intensify in thicker areas.
• Reactive character: The intensity of the plum tones, blue reflections and color breaks may vary depending on peak temperature, kiln atmosphere, hold time and cooling schedule.
• Flow: This product has a low-flow character, but surface movement related to application thickness and firing temperature should be evaluated on test tiles.
• Dilution: For spray and dipping applications, add water in small increments, mix the product after each addition and avoid over-dilution.
• Form effect: Details may remain defined on flat and vertical surfaces, while color intensity may increase where the glaze pools in recessed and textured areas.
• Clay body selection: The appearance of the plum tones and blue reflections may vary on porcelain, light-colored, dark or speckled high-fire clay bodies.
• Surface preparation: Remove all dust and residue from the bisque-fired surface before application.
• Temperature control: Firings outside the specified temperature range may alter the color and surface texture.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test chemical compatibility, color transitions and the resulting surface effect on a test tile.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the workspace is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
