Application and Ant Effect Notes

• Speckled character: The density and distribution of the fine dark speckles may vary depending on application thickness, clay body, and firing conditions.
• Brush application: Applying 3 coats is recommended for a pronounced, balanced speckled surface. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats and apply each coat in a different direction.
• Mixing: Mix the product thoroughly before application to distribute the speckle-forming components evenly across the surface. Stir again at regular intervals during application.
• Clay body selection: Dark speckles appear more pronounced and contrasting on white high-fire clay bodies. Speckled, grogged, or dark clay bodies may produce more rustic surfaces.
• Application thickness: Thicker applications may make the speckles appear denser and the surface more textured. With thinner applications, the underlying clay color may have a greater influence on the surface appearance.
• Dipping and pouring: Depending on the required application consistency, 5-10% water may be added. Add water gradually and in a controlled manner.
