Application Notes

• Color-breaking character: Mustard, amber, and burnt-earth tones may intensify across flat and recessed areas, while darker brown transitions may develop around edges, raised details, and elevated areas.
• Brush application: For a saturated and balanced surface, applying 3 coats is recommended. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats and apply each coat in a different direction.
• Textured surfaces: The color-breaking effect may become more pronounced on relief, carved, and raised forms, emphasizing the surface details.
• Clay body selection: Amber tones appear warmer and more distinct on white high-fire clay bodies. Dark, iron-rich, or grogged clay bodies may produce more rustic, darker, and metallic-looking results.
• Dipping and pouring: Depending on the required application consistency, 5-10% water may be added. Add water gradually and in controlled amounts.
• Mixing: Mix the product thoroughly before application to distribute the iron oxide and other reactive components evenly.
