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 wearing an FFP3/P3 mask 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.
