Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product thoroughly before and during application to ensure an even distribution of the coloring and matte-forming components.
• Surface preparation: The bisque surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust before application.
• Coat application: Apply 2-3 smooth and even coats to the surface.
• Drying between coats: Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next to help prevent surface defects.
• Opacity: Thin applications may reduce color intensity and opacity. Maintain an even thickness across the form for a uniform appearance.
• Matte surface: After firing, the glaze produces a smooth matte surface with low light reflection.
• Thickness control: Excessively thick application may alter the color and surface character, so apply each coat in a controlled manner.
• Form effect: The glaze provides a uniform color on smooth surfaces, while textured and relief areas may show tonal variations depending on application thickness.
• Clay body selection: The dark blue tone may appear cleaner on white and light-colored high-fire or porcelain clay bodies, while dark or speckled bodies may produce different results.
• Firing: Fire the product between 1180°C-1230°C using a schedule suitable for the selected clay body.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test color compatibility, surface interaction, and potential flow on a sample tile.
• Care: Avoid abrasive cleaning products and hard cleaning tools to preserve the matte surface.
• Safety: Use suitable personal protective equipment during application and ensure adequate ventilation in the working area.
• Storage: Store the product at room temperature with the lid tightly closed and away from direct sunlight. Protect from freezing.
