Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product regularly before and during application to ensure an even distribution of the coloring and reactive components.
• Coat application: For brush application, apply 2-3 even coats to the bisque-fired surface, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
• Thickness effect: Thinner applications may display lighter, more natural sand tones, while increasing the number of coats and application thickness may produce richer beige and earth tones.
• Reactive character: The intensity of the sandy color transitions and surface variations may differ depending on peak temperature, kiln atmosphere, hold time and cooling schedule.
• Dilution: For spray and dipping applications, add water in small increments, mix the product after each addition and avoid over-dilution.
• Form effect: Flat surfaces may develop a more balanced sandy appearance, while color intensity and reactive transitions may increase in recessed and textured areas.
• Clay body selection: The intensity of the sand and earth tones may vary on porcelain, light-colored, dark or speckled high-fire clay bodies.
• Surface preparation: Remove all dust and residue from the bisque-fired surface before application.
• Temperature control: Firings outside the specified temperature range may alter the color and surface texture.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test chemical compatibility, color transitions and the resulting surface effect on a test tile.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the workspace is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
