Stain & glaze application:
Note: If the stain or glaze inside the jar has separated, mix thoroughly with
a glass, plastic or zirconia spatula. Withdraw desired amount of Universal
Stain or Glaze from the jar and place it on the mixing palette. If a thinner
consistency is desired, dilute the material with the Dentsply Sirona Stain
and Glaze Liquid (REF 601315/15mL, 601350/50mL). (See Figure 1)
Apply a thin layer of the stain or glaze material all over the crown surface
in the usual manner using a brush. Make sure not to apply the glaze
material too thick or too thin. Too thin of a layer will result in a more
matte finish. Too thick of a layer can result in puddling and/or pitting of
the material. (See Figure 2)
If a more intensive shade effect is desired, it is achieved by several
staining applications and firings. However, the application of too many
stain layers can result in an unnatural shade effect.
