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.

Is alright

Easy enough to use and seemed to do the job. My kiln is an old boy, and I was afraid it would take too long to fire, so I put it on full. Ended up reaching temp in an hour, which was way faster than recommended. Whether or not this impacted the outcome, I have no idea. It seems to have worked but I'm not sure I'd call it green! Again, whether or not that's user error, I don't know.



They came out more blue (and no, its not reflecting the sky because it looks even more blue indoors). Slightly disappointed as I wanted green leaves on my mini but now they're blue, which is odd looking.



Might try again with slower firing and maybe it'll be more true to what's advertised.
