Additional Adaptations & Tips if needed. 

  • Make sure to glaze is dry before trying to trace on the pattern, if there is any moisture the AC230 Clay Carbon will not work. 
  • All Designer Liners and French Dimensions should be shook/ stirred well in case there is a water head on top of the colors.
