Best Practices when using Mayco Stoneware Crystal Glazes!

[@Mariede425]

so you have to break it up and then shake it up! transfer it into a plate for easy application. GREAT Instructions.. got it! Thanks!

[@storybell]

Ahhh. Guess I didn’t put on enough glaze. Came in like your 1 coat.

[@jasonkohlmeier6707]

Like the video, would have liked to see the end result. I have seen in the comments to email, but probably easier to just show the pic of it. I assume the base coat was leather and then muddy waters over the top. On the plate which is white opal and cobalt wash, did you make the lines (chattered carved etc, or was this a result of the glaze running?

[@MaycoColors]

We added the final results to the thumbnail, but have been unable to edit the video to add it directly. Sorry for the confusion. As seen in the video, we applied 3 coats of Muddy Waters to the bowl, no leather was applied. The lines on the plate were made with slip.

I’ve recently bought Muddy Waters and this is very helpful. I fire to a cone 8 and will only apply this glaze to top third of the pot, would this be okay?

[@suze5359]

Sorry another question, would the matte & ice Mayco’s be okay at cone 8? Thank you :)

[@MaycoColors]

That should be fine! All of our Stoneware glazes can be fired up to cone 10. Check out our website for cone 10 reduction results so you can get an idea how they perform at higher temperatures.

@@MaycoColors thank you so much, looking forward to trying out the glazes, so many gorgeous colours

[@gsandau]

Are you using porcelain?

[@ThatWriterWriter1]

Thanks for this. Very helpful Question: The use of "I'm going to go ahead and..." is super distracting.

[@storybell]

These are extremely helpful!❤❤❤

But the first photo shows like he’s going to use a pattern on it different places, but you only use one glaze what happened to the others

[@momadhis]

I loved that seal much more than the one currently used. I wish they would seal them again with the former seal. Because the new seal can be messy, not coming off completely or tearing sticking stubbornly onto the pint.

[@MaycoColors]

We just recently switched back to our normal seals. We had to switch temporarily due to supply shortages.

I AM ABOUT TO TRY BLUE HYDRANGEA ... THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL ... TYVM ...

[@Cadla_C]

Have you done the blue hydrangea? Wondering if you have to put the SW-207 Chambray base coat or you can just apply the blue hydrangea to your piece?

[@gsandau]

Love that glaze!

[@juststopify69er]

Me too!!! Palray for me

[@LambentLark]

Wow,that turned out amazing.

[@storybell]

Mine was way thicker. Like glue. I added a bit of water. Fired to cone 10. Came out with no gloss . Help!

[@lisalovelylpa]

Has to be applied to Bisque fired clay ? Confusing , I know some of your glazes can be applied to greenware.

[@gsandau]

It's a Cone 5/6 mid-fire glaze, so you apply it to bisque-fired ware.

[@jasonkohlmeier6707]

So I tried this and after I put 2-3 Coats of muddy waters on the inside like shown the glaze cracked when it dried fully? Will it still work or do I need to start over or apply another coat? It’s also hard to find the crystals. What happens when the crystals are gone, etc. i see you scoping them from the plate, will it be like this every time.

[@MaycoColors]

The cracks will smooth out during the firing, but it does sound like the application is very heavy! If you are having a difficult time accessing the crystals, we recommend to scoop the glaze onto a play like we have in the video here.

[@kandiland6722]

Great instructional video, still would be nice to have a picture of how that bowl came out though. I'm very curious.

I think the picture be added at the end of the video too!

[@Andreas-dq2us]

how many celcius should my oven be for the glaze to work please???

[@MaycoColors]

Our stoneware glazes require a minimum of 1196C

[@a705fay]

should crystals be used on food dishes, I read something about only to be used on decorative wear?

[@MaycoColors]

That is typically the rule for earthenware, but it is okay with stoneware.

[@gsandau]

In my studio, we store these glazes upside down. They're easier to mix when we're ready to use.

[@MaycoColors]

Yes! This is a great way to store crystal glazes!

[@marelouisesmit3381]

Can I use jungle crystal glaze on stoneware and fire up to 1200?

[@MaycoColors]

You can, but expect a change in color and performance! Check out the cone 6 results on our website and be sure to join Mayco Mud Room Society to see and discuss pur products with other customers!

[@lindalee945]

I am definitely buying this one!

[@dodder17]

5 layers...beautiful but it runs ...so it will stick to the kiln?

[@MaycoColors]

Not if you apply it to the top 1/2 of your piece 😉

[@bkuehlhorn8766]

Links are dead.

[@TrixieM712]

What are the crystals made of?

[@MaycoColors]

Various raw materials that are fired and then broken up and added to the wet glaze.

[@victoriaginty7181]

Yes, Id like to see what the end result as well

[@MaycoColors]

It is linked in the description.

[@anjap4174]

What glazes are on the plate you are using?

[@MaycoColors]

@@MaycoColors this link leads to your Facebook page, not the bowl. Where can we see the finished product? Also, I’m confused. Is this just muddy waters, or are you also using white opal and cobalt wash?
