Lustres of LUV Series
Key Features
- High stability
- Intense colours
- Long-lasting
Application
Lusters are applied by brushing or spraying. In both cases these lusters must be diluted with our Ceramvetro thinner BD61.
For brushing add about 25% of thinner; for spraying add from 90% to 300% of thinner. The proper pressure for spraying is 0,7 to 1,1 kg/cmq. The object to be decorated should be held at a distance from 15cm to 50cm, depending on its size. The compressed air should be dried to prevent water from entering the luster, which could cause white spots to appear after firing.
Firing
- Crystal 510°C – 550°C
- Glass 540°C – 580°C
- Glass bottles 580°C – 650°C
Packaging
100g (for lustres containing gold), 1kg, 10kg
Thermolustres

Key Features
- Ultra brilliance
- Excellent colour performance
- Long-lasting
Application
Thermolusters are applied by spraying on red hot glass (at a temperatureof more than 800°C before the annealing cycle). No thinner is needed.
In case the decoration result is a light grey the operator must apply more thermoluster; if a white powdery substance appears on the surface of the object after firing, the operator must apply less thermoluster.

Crinkles are glass chips made from grinding glass blocks (cold frits), or are produced by quickly cooling a glass block in cold water before milling (hot frits). Glass masters use crinkles to obtain required tones for coloured or uncoloured glass. Other uses include the creation of floor tiles embedded with crinkles.
Key Features
- High stability
