Q＆A
Microwave-Safe Gold
When using microwave-safe Gold, sparks occurred and the decorated area became very hot.
There may be contamination with non-microwave-safe Gold, so always clearly distinguish brushes, gold cups, rags, etc., used for Gold for microwave use from other Gold.
Carbon may have remained because firing could not be completed properly due to poor kiln conditions, so please pay attention to kiln ventilation and avoid overloading the substrate.
Sparks may occur if applied too close to or overlapping with gold-containing paints, so apply without adjacency or overlap.
When applied extremely thickly, a proper alloy may not form, creating areas that conduct electricity, so apply at an appropriate thickness.
If Gold deteriorates due to storage conditions, gloss may be lost and the alloy may not form properly. Stop using it. Depending on the situation, replacement may be possible, so please contact us.
The viscosity of the Gold has increased since purchase, and some may have solidified.
Microwave-safe Gold tends to solidify more easily than normal Gold, so please use it within six months. (All our Gold, not only microwave-safe, is intended to be used within six months.)
If stored in hot and humid conditions, the properties of the Gold may change, so store it in the refrigerator. Also, solvents may evaporate over time, increasing viscosity, so even if unopened, store in a sealed plastic bag.
If, for example, "20 g was taken from a 100 g bottle and used, but the remainder was returned to the original bottle," the used Gold exposed to the outside may deteriorate and affect the original Gold in the bottle, so either use it up or do not return it.
After washing in a dishwasher, it peeled off immediately.
Microwave-safe Gold is less resistant than normal Gold due to its nature. However, there is dishwasher-safe microwave Gold (product number: RN-80-8), so if you want more resistant microwave-safe Gold, please use that product.
