How to Use Mayco Overglazes

[@maggieframpton5435]

Well that couldn't have been better timed, I was just about to buy some but it's a long time since I've used it and needed a good recap of how to use them. Brilliant, thank you👍😁👍

[@WhitehallPottery]

Thanks for posting this video. I picked some of these up but have been nervous to use them. Great tips!

[@micheledickey4066]

Wow! This is great! My old ceramics teacher taught us to use the mop with our fingers!! The bigger bottles are actually a great idea because the small tiny ones fall over sooo easily!! I wish you had demonstrated how to use the gold off!

[@marianpyron9344]

Good video! Not sure why it took Mayco so long to put one out. I've been using overglazes for years but had to really hunt for information when I first started. I fire the gold to cone 016 (so a little hotter than recommended) and get great results! I do this because so many of my overglaze transfers I use fire to cone 016 and I combine my firings.

Thanks so much, I now know what I have done wrong with my use of lusters!

[@Creator_Choi]

How many hours should I fire it after applying the gold rust? And can I just apply one layer?

[@maryclayards2996]

Do you recommend leaving the lid open on invented kiln as well? If so why?

[@catherinemontalvan4340]

Pretty!! I tried this yesterday and it almost came out perfect except for these small little blue spots/smears. Do you know why this happens ? And if we can still get rid of it after it's been fired?

[@dls31070]

It’s either oil from your fingers or you may have applied it too thinly. You can buy a luster eraser that will take the purple spots off without removing the glaze underneath

[@catherinemontalvan4340]

@@dls31070 thank you! I will try that

[@ChanningLee]

to fire gold luster, do you use fast speed？ can it be applied on unglazed areas？

[@ColletteMorfin]

Is it possible to touch up mother of pearl over the powdered areas that ran and re-fire again?

[@kristagarcia9312]

Is there a video on process of doing overgrazing Application process ? Bisque fire with reg glazes then apply overglaze and retire to?

[@MaycoColors]

You would apply glaze to your bisque and fire as normal. Then apply the overglaze and fire again to the proper temperature (019/018 for golds and 020 for MOP).

[@RoosterPootPottery]

I noticed when you went to clean to pearl brush, you contaminated your essence, it is now shadow blue. Should you have separate cleaner for each?

[@MaycoColors]

Some will have an Essence bottle for each overglaze labeled to separate each one for this purpose.

[@reneepeters5051]

Is it compatible with raku firing?

[@sasharudis7840]

Can you fire these to cone 06? I’m new to this but I love those and really want to try them but the studios kiln goes to cone 06.

[@MaycoColors]

No. These are a cone 019/018 or cone 020 for Mother of Pearl. These are applied after your cone 06 firing.

[@belindamassey4761]

If your studio kilns go to cone 06 then the kiln can go as low as cone 020 (this is much cooler than cone 06) but you have to let the studio know you need to fire to only the lower cone.

[@Mariede425]

I have fired the MOP as well as the gold lusters both to 018....is that no longer advisable?

[@MaycoColors]

the golds can be but we suggest cone 020 for MOP.

[@berfudurukan1824]

@@MaycoColors thank you very much for this enlightening video. Could you please provide the equivalance of cone 20 firing temperature in celsius? Thank you 🙏🏻
