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

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, 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 wares.

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

Health & Safety

We suggest the wearing of a mask with P3 filters when applying. Store bottles in a well-ventilated area or even outside. A sensible idea for institutions or a business is the purchase of a specially designed fume cupboard which is lockable and fire-proof.

When firing the wares, please consider others and again make sure the room is well ventilated.

Disappointed with gold lustre

I purchased this gold lustre to use on porcelain and stoneware pieces. I applied the lustre as normal and was disappointed in the results. On the porcelain the results were Ok but the stoneware lustred areas turned between brown and a bronze colour, when polished with a soft cloth these areas took on a sheen.



At first I thought I had maybe not applied enough, however, it was Ok on the porcelain and my technique did not change between porcelain and stoneware applications. On looking at previous lustred pieces, the gold does not seam as bright or shiny at previous lustres
