Application and Storage Notes

• Surface Preparation: Apply the engobe to a clean, dust-free, leather-hard clay surface. Excessively dry or wet surfaces may cause adhesion and drying problems.
• Brush Application: Apply the engobe in thin, even coats to achieve a uniform, opaque surface. Allow the surface to lose moisture between coats and apply each coat in a different direction.
• Dipping Application: Adjust the product consistency carefully to achieve a smoother, continuous surface. Keep the piece immersed for an even amount of time to prevent buildup on the surface.
• Drying and Firing: After application, allow the piece to dry completely and gradually. Then perform a bisque firing using a schedule suitable for the clay body.
• Glazing: If a glossy or protective surface is desired after bisque firing, a compatible transparent or colored glaze can be applied over the engobe.
• Preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before use to distribute the pigments evenly. If settling occurs during storage, strain the product when necessary before application.
• Storage: Store the product tightly sealed at room temperature, protected from freezing and direct sunlight.
