Available in both liquid and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCLASSIC, MATTE, CRYSTAL, AND GLOSS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most distinctive traits of Mayco’s Stoneware is that the glazes provide consistent performance and intriguing visual interest. They are best known for being receptive and favourable to the user during both application and firing. Mayco Stoneware glazes are friendly to the user in application, layering and firing. Many glazes will break over textures, revealing secondary colours and shades. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONSISTENT PERFORMANCE AND CONTROL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMayco Stoneware glazes offer the depth, sophistication and reliability to artists working from mid-range to high-fire temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGLAZE COMBINATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMayco Stoneware glazes work great layered both under or over other glazes. Artists can achieve incredible finishes with a simple combination of two glazes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALL OVER COVERAGE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed alone, Mayco Stoneware glazes produce beautiful colour variations, deepening with additional coats. One coat will allow more of the clay body to show through the glaze. Subsequent coats deepen the colour. Gloss Glazes are the ideal product for brightly coloured dinnerware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL USE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStoneware Classic \u0026amp; Matte Glazes: Stir well. Apply to soft-fired bisque (cone 04\/06). Apply one, two or three coats depending on the result desired. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next coat. Fire from cone 5\/6-10. See label for additional firing information for individual glazes and cone 10 performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStoneware Crystal Glazes: Crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of colour. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need thorough mixing prior to initial use and in between each coat. Apply two to three coats using a fan or hake brush. While the glaze is wet, use your brush to redistribute crystals to achieve balanced coverage. Over application of the crystals can cause pinholing or running. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing. See label for additional firing information for individual glazes and cone 10 performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStoneware Gloss Glazes: Stoneware Gloss glazes can be used in design, all over coverage and are the ideal product for intermixability at mid-range temperatures. The integrity of your design will remain unchanged as these glazes are incredibly stable and will not move or combine with surrounding colours. See label for additional firing information for individual glazes and cone 10 performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHELPFUL HINTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTONEWARE CRYSTAL GLAZES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need a good mixing prior to initial use. Re-stir between each coat. Stir with palette knife or another unpainted tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver-application or heavy deposition of the crystals can cause pinholing or running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystals will flow more than the base glaze. During your last coat, use your brush to evenly distribute the crystals over the top two-thirds of the piece and move away from the bottom third.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the glaze is wet, you can use your brush to redistribute the crystals to achieve balanced coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to facilitate crystal dispersion on the next use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTONEWARE MATTE GLAZES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSW-136 Weathered Blue, SW-137 Storm Gray and SW-138 Lemon Meringue are unique glazes that change in appearance with number of glaze coats.
