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. Three coats are 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 for an even distribution.
• Dipping and Spray Application: Depending on the application method, 5-10% water may be added gradually and in a controlled manner.
• Flow Character: This glaze has high flow. Thick applications may increase the risk of the glaze running downward and onto the kiln shelf.
• Metallic Effect: As the number of coats and application thickness increase, the metallic green appearance, gray highlights, and reactive surface movement may become more pronounced.
• Unglazed Base Margin: Leave a sufficient unglazed area at the base of vertical forms to reduce the risk of the glaze running onto the kiln shelf.
• Clay Body Selection: Metallic green and silvery transitions may appear more pronounced on white clay bodies, while dark or colored clay bodies may produce deeper results.
• Storage: Store the product tightly sealed at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and protect it from freezing.
