Bright Gold Lustre 8%

Description

Working Notes

These products are ready-to-use and are generally of a gluey, dark brown liquid aspect. Use a smooth brush. The pieces to be decorated must be well cleaned and bone dry. The brush must neither be too heavily-laden nor too little-laden and the layer applied must be uniform and fine. 

Dilution: 5%–15% as required

Manufacturer recommendation: Best used within 12 months of opening or purchase. Luster mediums dry out easily. If the cap is loose, the essential oils evaporate and thicken the liquid.

Thinning old lustres: You can sometimes revive thickened luster using a specialized luster essence or thinner, though badly degraded metal suspension may still fire unevenly or turn dull.

Top Tip: Keep brushes, bottles and tools free from water during use.

Note: Before using these products on a large scale we advise you to try a preliminary test.

Please note that the information provided is for guidance only. Different application methods and different firing conditions will affect results.

Health & Safety

Wear an FFP3/P3 mask when applying. Wearing gloves isrecommended too.

Store bottles in a well-ventilated area.

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

"I used this on top of a small buff stoneware vessel, glazed glossy tin white. It came out beautifully bright and shiny gold! The consistency was very good so I didn’t need to add thinner. It was also delivered very quickly and as instructed."

"Having been given good advice, I used a new clean brush and stood outside to paint on the lustre. Even then I had a slight headache. The results were lovely, a shiny bright flawless gold."

By LeoHancock on 10th August 2023

"Excellent product. Does NOT require dilution when applied to Borosilicate glass. Apply as a thin layer, dry (ideally overnight) and fire at 600c for 15 mins. This fire can be done as part of the annealing process if batch annealing. If you use the thinner to clean your brush, you can apply the thinned lustre for a subtle, less shiny brassy-bronze effect. The lustre really is a mirror bright, shining gold - looks amazing"

"Excellent gold coverage but be careful not to make mistakes. I tried to wipe off with lustre thinner but leaves pink smudges after firing. The gold is very shiny and bright so do recommend. "

"It was the first time I have used a gold lustre but I am very pleased with the outcome. I found the smell/fumes to be very strong though and ventilation is a must"
