Application Instructions for Regular Decals

Crystal Sheet Application Instructions

   

1. Pick out the decoration that you intend to apply. Cut it from the sheet entirely.

2. Place the decal in warm water. The sheet will roll up and then become flat again in 15-20 seconds.

3. Remove the decals from the water. Separate the white sheet from the transfer.

4. Wet the piece with warm water. Put the transfer on the piece and adjust the design to the correct position.

5. Eliminate any excess water and air bubbles from the piece using a squeegee.

6. Let the piece dry overnight at room temperature. The piece will then be ready to use.

7. The suggested temperature to fire the tile is cone 015°, 016° or 017° for the regular decals and 018° for the gold decals.

Use of a DECAL SQUEEGEE is recommended
for quality decal application.


1. Apply the normal decal in the regular manner. Allow to dry completely OVERNIGHT.

2. Dampen the applied but not fired decal. Place the Crystal Sheet into water as with any decal. When the Crystal Design will slide off the paper, apply the Crystal Sheet over the regular decal. Use no sponges, squeegees or pressure of any kind, it is not necessary. Allow to dry OVERNIGHT.

3. Fire in the usual manner. 2 hours on LOW with the lid cracked, 2 hours on MEDIUM with the lid cracked. Close the lid and fire on HIGH to a temperature of 1620 degrees Fahrenheit or to a cone of .013


HEALTH AND SAFTEY WARNING
Metal Release
Health Regulations which apply to ceramic materials are in force in many countries of the world. Whilst every effort is made to produce transfers to the highest quality, the glaze in ceramics or glass and the firing conditions will affect the level of heavy metal which may be released in contact with acid food.

Safe Handling of Products
Although transfers contain toxic materials, they are normal bonded in such a way as to render them harmless in use during the applications processes. During firing, however, fumes will be given off which can cause throat and nasal irritations. These must therefore be ventilated to atmosphere and not allowed to permeate into work areas
