Application and Black Sea Effect Notes

• Reactive transitions: The distribution of navy, black and cobalt-blue tones may vary depending on the application thickness, form and firing conditions.
• Brush application: Three coats are recommended for a rich and layered surface. Allow each coat to dry completely and apply every coat in a different direction.
• Pooling effect: The glaze may concentrate in recessed and indented areas, creating cobalt-blue variations. Darker navy and black tones may appear along edges and raised details.
• Clay selection: Cobalt-blue variations appear brighter and more distinct on white high-fire clay bodies. Speckled, grogged or iron-rich clay bodies may produce more rustic surfaces.
• Fluidity: Due to its reactive character, the glaze may move when applied thickly. Controlled application is recommended near the base, especially on vertical forms.
• Mixing: Mix the product thoroughly before application to distribute the color- and effect-producing components evenly. Continue mixing periodically during application.
• Dipping and pouring: Depending on the required consistency, 5-10% water may be added. Add water gradually and in a controlled manner.
