Honeycomb - 16 oz Mayco Stoneware Glaze

Description

SW117-16-ounce Honeycomb (Brush On) Stoneware Glaze by Mayco Colors in 16 ounce Pints

Stoneware crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color.

Fired results will vary based on wares orientation.

Crystals 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 other, unpainted tool.  Avoid placing crystals near the bottom

third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing.

Crystals will flow more than the base glaze. While the glaze is wet, use your fan brush to redistribute the crystals to

achieve balanced coverage.

Over-application or heavy deposition of the crystals can cause pin-holing or running.

When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to facilitate crystal dispersion on the next use.

Cone 6: Honeycomb is a variegated brown matte glaze that contains a sandy-brown crystal.

As the crystal melts it creates glossy blooms that can produce yellow mottling in the glaze, producing a textured fired finish.

Cone 10: Color darkens.

TIP: SW-16-ounce 3 Sisal is the base glaze.

For a lighter crystal effect, you may try applying two coats of SW-16-ounce 3 Sisal with a third coat of SW-117 Honeycomb.
