Application Notes

• Preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application until a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Brush Application: The glaze can be applied directly to a clean, dry bisque surface. Applying 3 coats is recommended to achieve a finish similar to the visual sample.
• Drying Between Coats: Allow the surface to dry before applying the next coat. Apply each coat in a different direction to ensure even coverage.
• Dipping and Spray Application: Depending on the application method, 5-10% water may be added in a controlled manner.
• Metallic Character: As the application thickness and number of coats increase, the metallic anthracite appearance and dark steel reflections may become more pronounced.
• Clay Body Selection: Metallic color transitions may appear more clearly on white clay bodies, while dark or colored clay bodies may create deeper, more integrated surfaces.
• Flow Control: Preparing a test tile is recommended, particularly for vertical forms, to observe glaze movement and the distribution of the metallic effect across the surface.
• Storage: Store the product tightly sealed at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and protect it from freezing.
