APPLICATION
Generally, to obtain optimum results, 3 - 4 coats of the metallic glazes and 2 - 3 coats of the other glazes should be applied using a fully loaded brush. Ensure each coat is dry before applying subsequent coats at right angles to each other.

Custom variegated glazes can be created by mixing oxides and other raw materials with the HE101 Clear.
