SCHILBACH Clear-Pigment (5g)

Clear-Pigment (5g)

The third dimension! For perfection in retouch and varnish, in depth and surface

For a long time SCHIBACH has used the Clear-Pigment, making it possible to work in all dimensions while retouching and varnishing.

The super-transparent and extra fine Clear-Pigment fits between the coated color-pigments and gives the varnosh or retouch a deeper optical dimension. The entering light gets reflected and shines through the pigments from behind, bringing out a very special depth in the lacquer and the structure of the wood. Clear-Pigment is a chemically stable silica product.

Handling recommendation

• Ideally, Clear-Pigment can be mixed together with your normal lacquer varnish using a brush, on a glass (or similar) surface. Mix in the Clear-Pigment directly before application until you achieve the desired consistency. [Put a bit Clear-Pigment on a glass plate. Besides next to it you give your lacquer or vanish. After you mix the Clear-Pigment with a paint brush in the lacquer or varnish. To less is always possible and if it is to much it will result in a crumbly consistency. If this starts to happen, add more lacquer to make it smooth again.]
• Clear-pigment can also be added to the lacquer in a variety of ways to suit your own operating procedure.
  
• For use in new buildings, Clear-Pigment can be used as a chemically stable paint additive with which the paint properties can be adjusted and set.
  
• For larger applications it is also possible to mix the Clear-Pigment directly into the lacquer can or jar. Mix the Clear-Pigment carefully into your lacquer while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. After a while Clear-Pigment will settling out like normal pigments. Therefore it is necessary to mix the lacquer again before using.

• Please note: Clear-Pigment makes the varnish drier. Therefore it is useful to ensure there are enough soft resins and lacquer particles in the new mixture.
• We do not recommend a mixing ratio due to the variety of ways lacquer and varnish can be prepared.
