Application Notes

• Brush Application: Applying 3 coats over a white clay body is recommended to achieve a pronounced color and crackle effect. Allow the surface to dry between coats.
• Crackle Character: The density and size of the cracks may vary depending on the clay body, application thickness, firing temperature, and cooling rate.
• Effect Enhancement: Once the piece has been fully fired and cooled, ink or a contrasting paint can be applied into the cracks. The surface can then be wiped clean to make the crackle pattern more visible.
• Clay Body Selection: The turquoise tone appears more vibrant on white and light-colored clay bodies. Color and crackle structure may vary with different clay bodies.
• Consistency Adjustment: For dipping or spray applications, water should be added gradually and in a controlled manner. Avoid over-diluting the product.
• Mixing: Mix thoroughly before application to ensure that pigments and glaze components are evenly distributed.
