General Use

Performing just as their counterpart, Speckled Stroke & Coat® glazes are an enhanced version of popular Stroke & Coat® colors. The addition of small specks of color to the base glaze provides a fun visual interest that does not melt or flow during the 06 glaze firing.

One coat of Mayco Speckled Stroke & Coat® will create a translucent finish with subsequent coats adding opacity. We suggest 2-3 coats for full opacity and all over coverage. Let dry between coats. Stroke & Coat® glazes will fire to a gloss finish without clear glaze. However, if desired, a clear glaze (such as NT-CLR Clear One Dipping Glaze or S-2101 Crystal Clear Brushing) can be added. For application on wet or leatherhard clay and firing to cone 04, colors will retain their vibrancy with huge time savings. We recommend leaving an area unglazed, such as the back or bottom of the unfired piece, to allow for out-gassing of the clay during the single-firing process.

Speckled Stroke & Coat® glazes have been formulated to mature at cone 06/05. Most Stroke & Coat® glazes will maintain their color at higher temperatures, especially reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and blues. Speckles may blur at high firing temperatures. Performance at cone 6 is noted on each individual product label. We recommend testing on your clay and in your kiln prior to use.

Chips shown are fired flat on a white clay body fired to cone 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
