Lustres
CHARATERISTICS
- SCHJERNING lustres colours are liquid solutions of metal salts and ready to use
- They are used with the thinner 174
- The colours are intermixable and settable on each other (careful not to over mix the lustres to keep vivid colors)
- The result after firing is iridescent or metallic
PRECAUTIONS
- Keep away from light and heat
- The lustre colours should be kept cool (in the fridge, no freezing!) and used up within 6 months.
- Use appropriate brushes and work on well dry and clean pieces
APPLICATiONS
- Apply with synthetic brush, airbrush, sponge, creasing or immersion
- For pounding, apply a smooth layer of the lustre colour with a wide brush, then dab uniformly with a pounding sponge without returning on done work
- SCHJERNING lustres colours must be completely dry before firing. Fire slowly at the beginning; simmer gently at 350°C and then quickly at 550-580°C on glass, 700-730°C on faience and 780-800°C on porcelain
- Pay attention, some lustre colours do not withstand a temperature above 800°C. Lustres colours applied on already fired pigments should not exceed 600°C, they risk disappearing
- The application on glass gives less satisfaying results than on earthenware and porcelain
