Liquid Bright Platinum (9%) - 2 grams

This small jar contains 2 grams of 9% Liquid Bright Platinum.

Liquid Bright is a diluted solution of pure platinum, which, when fired, produces a brilliant platinum gold effect that does not need burnishing.

It flows easily from a brush or pen point and should appear as an even tan color before firing.

Always stir with a glass stirring rod or similar implement before each use.

Tips On Application & Firing:

Do not apply too heavily as it will blister in the firing.

If applied too thinly, a purplish marking will result after firing. In that case reapply and fire again.

Liquid bright platinum will creep against graphite pencil lines, carbon paper markings, or wet paint and produce the same purplish marks after firing.

Clean surfaces well before application with denatured alcohol or methylated spirits. Do not use turpentine as it will also creep against a surface cleaned with turpentine.

It will also creep against a surface marked by a fingerprint.

Normally, this gold will keep indefinitely when kept tightly sealed. Do not thin unless it has been exposed to the air for extended periods. To thin use lavender oil sparingly.

Always allow the liquid platinum to dry naturally before firing. Firing temperature for liquid bright ranges from 560°C/1040°F to 820°C/1508°F. Good ventilation of the kiln is most important as the platinum can become hazy or dull if the ventilation is poor.
