Application Recommendations:

The following application recommendations are based upon the original product development intent and use for the product.

Shake for 5-6 seconds before use. Dispense glaze onto a palette (tile, plate, etc.) and apply with your brush or decorating accessory of choice (sponge, stamp, etc.).

Foundations Opaque glazes were designed to mature at a shelf cone 06 (999° C).  When applying Foundations over a large surface area we recommend a broad, soft brush, such as a Soft Fan Brush. Try to get the brush fully saturated (loaded) and apply each coat in the same direction.

Make sure the glaze has dried thoroughly prior to firing. A medium ramp/firing rate is recommended (250°F per hour).

Foundation Basics are available in 4 oz. Pints and Gallons.
