Description

Mayco stoneware glazes are best applied with a soft fan brush to bisque-fired ware. Fire to between cone 5 and cone 6 (1200°C - 1230°C). Many colors also perform very well at higher temperatures, see images under the Information tab. Test before applying to product. Ready-mixed.

Information

Flux is a flowing glaze developed for use with other stoneware glazes to enhance the movement, promote reactions and interesting effects. Apply 2-3 coats of Flux under or over another mid-range glaze to bring about “hidden colors”. Flux can be brushed in layers, glaze trailed, plopped with a brush, and blotted with a sponge. The thicker the application, the more mobility there will be. To prevent glaze run-off, avoid applying Flux to the bottom third of your ware. 

Mayco's Flux is used with other stoneware glazes to create flowing effects on the ware. Apply Flux with a soft brush over or under the chosen glaze and fire to cone 5/6 (1200-1230°C). At higher firing temperatures, an even stronger flowing effect is achieved. Flux should not be applied to the lower part of the ware to prevent damage to the kiln.

Cone 6 oxidation (1230°C): Light Flux is a translucent cream color when used alone.

Cone 10 reduction (1280°C): The increase in temperature will cause more movement.
