Description
Art Clay gold paste (22 carats) is a viscous paste (1.5gram) that allows you to apply gold accents on surfaces of silver, ceramics, porcelain and/or glass. A diluent (5ml) is included with the paste to achieve a lighter shade of gold. The heating time depends on the surface on which you use the paste. English instructions are included with the paste.
Features
The Art Clay Gold Paste contains 77.5% of the indicated weight of 24 carat gold, which becomes 22 carat gold after firing. To dilute the paste, remove the required amount of paste from the jar and place it in a separate mixing container. Then add the required amount of water or included diluent, depending on your desired gold color. If you need a lighter gold color paint on a ceramic, porcelain or glass? Then it is best that you dilute the Gold Pasta with a medium. Recommended ratio to dilute with the medium provided is gold paste (3) : medium (1).
This product is water-based and may eventually dry up. Keep the container tightly sealed. If it dries up, add an appropriate amount of water to restore the paste to its original state.
Preparation
There may be gold pigments at the bottom of the jar. Stir the paste well with a metal spatula before use. Clean the surface of the porcelain, glass or ceramic with alcohol or soap and water to remove any dust or grease. This will prevent the paste from not adhering. Use a brush specifically for use with gold paste.

Finish
The surface where the gold paint was applied will be matte in color due to crystallization, but a shine can be obtained by polishing.
