Application and Orchid Effect Notes

• White color character: The lightness, opacity, and gloss of the white tone may vary depending on application thickness, clay body, and firing conditions.
• Brush application: Applying 3 coats is recommended for a clean, rich, and balanced surface. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats and apply each coat in a different direction.
• Clay body selection: White and light-colored high-fire clay bodies produce a cleaner, glossier white appearance. The body color may influence the surface appearance when applied over speckled, grogged, or dark clay bodies.
• Application thickness: Thicker applications may produce a richer, more opaque white. The underlying clay color may have a greater influence over thinly glazed edges and raised details.
• Surface preparation: Completely remove dust, dirt, and oil residue from the bisque before application to achieve a clean white surface.
• Mixing: Mix the product thoroughly before application to distribute the glaze components evenly across the surface. Stir again at regular intervals during application.
• Dipping and pouring: Depending on the required application consistency, 5-10% water may be added. Add water gradually and in a controlled manner.
