Application Notes

• Product preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application to distribute the crystal and pigment components evenly throughout the liquid. Stirring again at regular intervals during application is recommended.
• Brush application: The product can be applied directly over a clean and dry bisque surface. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats.
• Application thickness: As the number of coats and application thickness increase, the crystal intensity, depth of the turquoise color, and cream transitions may become more pronounced.
• Pouring and dipping: For these methods, the consistency can be adjusted by adding approximately 5-10% water. Water should be added gradually and in controlled amounts while preserving the glaze coverage.
• Firing effect: Crystal development and color distribution may vary depending on the peak temperature, hold time, and cooling curve.
• Clay body selection: The base tone, crystal appearance, and color contrast may vary across different high-fire clay bodies.
• Storage: Keep the product in its airtight, sealed packaging, away from direct sunlight, and at room temperature.
• Safety: Appropriate protective equipment should be used during application, and the product should be stored out of reach of children.
