IMPORTANT!
The mixture can be used with all pigment colors, but keep in mind that bright shades such as 1_B, 2_B, 3_B, 2000_B, etc., may be more difficult to mix thoroughly. During the decorative process, small pigment grains may appear—especially when using red pigments. For this reason, we recommend more careful mixing methods than usual:
-
- Pour the entire pigment jar into the water through a fine sieve, pressing it through with a spoon.
-
- Mix the full pigment amount with a small amount of water and strain it through a dense fabric/cheesecloth.
Color numbers that contain red mineral pigment:

COLORS
FINISH No. 9 clay–marble putty can be tinted with any mineral pigment from the Mr. Clay color palette. However, keep in mind that the colors will not be identical to the palette because the mixture does not cover surfaces evenly like plaster or putty.
When working with decorative techniques, the final color will be approximate—therefore, always create a small test sample from start to finish, including the chosen varnish.
USAGE TIME OF PREPARED MIX
Keep the prepared clay mixture covered in a cool place. It is recommended to use it within 1–2 weeks.
APPLICATION / TOOLS
The mixture can be applied with a trowel, a putty roller, or mechanically. It is applied using stainless steel trowels with a top handle or standard putty tools.
For surface finishing, use tools suitable for the decorative technique — PVC floats, shading tools, sponges, etc. The choice of tool may significantly affect the final appearance.
APPLICATION THICKNESS
FINISH No. 9 clay–marble putty is applied in one or two layers, depending on the decorative technique. It is applied very thinly — approximately 0.5 mm.
Avoid direct sunlight and drafts during application.
DRYING TIME
Depending on the room temperature, humidity, and the size of the decorated area, drying may take 4 to 24 hours.
