Lemon Gold Lustre in a small glass bottle.  2 grams.

 

Be sure to apply this paint in a well ventilated space.  Also ensure kiln area is well ventilated too, as the fumes emmitted from the kiln during early stages of firing will include the spirit based chemicals used to hold the gold in suspension in the liquid.

 

COLOROBBIA liquid golds and lustres are intended for brush-application onto already fired and glazed ceramic objects. Before firing, the objects must be left to dry for a few hours in a warm, dust-free place.

Firing temperatures recommended by COLOROBBIA are:

  • On Earthenware glazed ware: 690°C - 700°C, Orton cone 018
  • On Stoneware and Porcelain Glazed ware: 750°C - 815°C, Orton cone 017 - 015

APPLICATION

  • Colorobbia liquid golds and lustres are ready-to-use and are generally of a gluey, dark brown liquid appearance.
  • Use a smooth, soft brush for application.
  • The pieces to be decorated must be well-cleaned and bone dry.
  • Gold, platinum and some lustres like copper and bronze do not need to be diluted. The other lustres can be diluted with an appropriate thinner at more or less 10% addition. The Mother of Pearl Iris lustre needs to be diluted at 15% at least: It burns more easily than the others if applied in thick layers. Burnt MOP Iris results in a white powder and does not adhere. Precision scales are recommended when diluting in order to maintain the same fluidity and shade of colour.
  • The brush must neither be too heavily-laden nor too little-laden, and the layer applied must be uniform and fine (single brush stroke). Too thick a layer causes burning or clouding during the firing.
