Mayco Stoneware Flux and Speciality – Light Flux

R335.00

Mayco Flux interacts with other glazes to create movement, bringing about ‘hidden’ colors and visual texture.
Light Flux and Dark Flux are mid-range glazes that were developed to be used in combination with other mid-range glazes to produce flowing effects. Designed to fire to cone 5/6, but can be fired to cone 9/10 (movement will be more pronounced at higher temperatures).

Mayco Stoneware Speciality

Mayco’s Stoneware Specialty glazes were developed for special effects and surface depth.

Mudcrack

White Mudcrack and Black Mudcrack were developed to create a highly-texture raised and cracked surface. The thicker the application, the more textured the surface. Mudcrack can be directly applied to bisqueware or in combination with other mid-range glazes.

Magma

Light Magma and Dark Magma were developed to create a rough, cratered surface. The thicker the application, the more textured the surface will be. Magma can be directly applied to bisqueware or in combination with other mid-range glazes.

Crackle White

Crackle White is a bright white gloss glaze that develops a fine crackle pattern at mid-range firing temperatures. To highlight the crackle pattern, after firing, wipe black acrylic or ink over the ware and wipe off, allowing the ink to fill the cracks.

Crackle Matte Clear

Crackle Matte Clear was developed for mid-range firing temperatures where a fine crackle pattern will develop with 2-3 coats. To highlight the crackle pattern, after firing, wipe black acrylic or ink over the ware and wipe off, allowing the ink to fill the cracks.

Description

The order in which you apply Mayco Flux (above or beneath another glaze) impacts the fired result. Designed to fire to cone 5/6, but can be fired to cone 9/10. Variables that influence movement include the fluidity of the companion glaze, application methods, thickness and orientation of application, number of coats, firing temperature and program. To prevent glaze run-off, avoid applying Flux to the bottom third of your ware. The unique material composite of Flux alters the character of the supplemental glazes, when applied in combination.
