Application Notes

• Product preparation: Before application, mix the product thoroughly until it reaches a uniform consistency.
• Brush application: Applying 3 coats over white bisque is recommended to achieve a rich, balanced metallic surface. Allow the surface to dry between coats and apply each coat in a different direction.
• Spraying and dipping: Depending on the required application consistency, 5-10% water may be added. Add water gradually and carefully.
• Metallic character: Thinner areas may produce lighter copper reflections, while thicker applications may develop darker bronze tones and metallic shadows.
• Texture effect: Metallic transitions may become more pronounced on raised and textured surfaces, giving the form an antique appearance.
• Clay body selection: Bronze and copper transitions appear clearer on white clay. Dark or red clay bodies may produce deeper and more rustic results.
• Vertical forms: Avoid excessive glaze buildup near the base and keep the application thickness controlled.
