Working Notes

These products are ready to use from the bottle but do stir as much as possible with a thin implement. If the lustre proves too thick to be useable then you can use Lustre Thinner.

Use a soft-haired paint brush or liner brush for application. Wares should be clean and dry and brush evenly for best results being careful not to overload with the lustre. Allow the ware to dry completely before placing it in the kiln.

Gold, platinum, bronze and copper do not need to be diluted with thinners. For other colours including red, orange, amber, green, black, blue and the mother of pearl (15%+), it is recommended diluting to at least 10%. 

As some of these products are expensive to use, avoid disappointment by testing before application to the final ware.

See our working with lustres document in the product attachment for further advice.

Health & Safety

Wear an FFP3/P3 mask when applying. Store bottles in a well-ventilated area, and we recommend that institutions or businesses purchase a specially designed fume cupboard which is lockable and fireproof.

When firing the wares, make sure the room is well ventilated.
