For now you can leave the conductive side down plate to the side, we won’t be needing it until the end.

The conductive side up plate however Is going to be coated in titanium dioxide. First take one of the dishes and pour in a little water. Next, start adding a little titanium dioxide to the water, frequently stirring. You want to remove all the lumps from the titanium dioxide. You will know you have the right consistency when the liquid turn into almost a goo.

Once you have made this titanium dioxide “goo” take a little out of the bowl with the spoon and place it on the plate, try to spread it out a bit but don’t get to close to the edges.

Now we want to equally cover the entire surface. We are going to achieve this by place 2 items slightly taller than the plate on either side of the plate (I used 2 stacked plates) and going over it with the aluminum profile or whatever you chose as your “straight, non-porous material. Doing this we cover the entire surface in an equal layer. If it spills a bit over don’t worry about it.

Once the plate is covered, we need to “bake” the titanium dioxide to the plate. Carefully move you plate to your cooktop or hotplate. Slowly warm it up so the glass has no chance of breaking. When it’s up to temperature leave it for a few hours so it has the chance to bake onto the plate.
