Does anyone know how to get around this problem? I've been using Hanover's
liquid bright copper luster and for the past year or so it's been coagulated
in the bottle. I want to airbrush with it. Any suggestions?
There's a red copper luster by a different company, the color's similar but
not as good. I'm stumped.
Thanks for your help.

I use Standard Ceramic's Lustures and they have a "medium" that one can buy to
thin and clean brushes in. Contact Hanover, they probably have the same
thing. Be careful! Everyone on Clayart talks about toxicity in regular glazes,
I understand many lusture formulas have mercury in them!

The "medium" might also be referred to as gold essence by your supplier,
and is sort of a clear brush cleaner and thinner. I personally avoid the
Hanovia brand, finding it's fumes are much worse than the Duncan brand.
Also, the Duncan seems to do a smoother job somehow.

When we used lustre's there was a product called lustre "medium" or
"extender" - it was either made by Duncan or Hanovia. We sometimes used
to thin down the gold. Be careful spraying the lustre's contain organic
solvents which are toxic - always wear a respirator with them.
