General Use
One coat will create a translucent finish with subsequent coats increasing opacity. We suggest 2-3 coats for 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 may be added. For application on clay, we recommend leaving an area unglazed, such as the back or bottom of the ware, to allow for out-gassing of water and organic materials during the firing process. Stroke & Coat glazes have been formulated to mature at shelf cone 06/05. Most Stroke & Coat glazes will maintain their color at higher temperatures, especially reds, oranges, yellows, greens and blues. Their performance changes at cone 6 is noted on each individual product label. We recommend testing Mayco colors prior to use.
Stroke & Coat glazes are certified AP non-toxic and food safe.
Helpful Hints

• SC-13 Grapel, SC-33 Fruit of the Vine and SC-85 Orkid are formulated with chrome-tin pigments and can be sensitive to non-toxic clear glazes; namely a milky/cloudy haze may form over the colors. Test by adding a light application of the clear glaze to these colors. These colors will not fade when used with Maycos Clear One Dipping (NT-CLR).
• SC-70 Pink-a-Dot is more translucent than other Stroke & Coat glazes. Additional coats (more than 3) may be necessary to achieve opacity.
• Stroke & Coat glazes do not move or blend when used with other glazes. You can apply side-by-side or layer without losing integrity of design.
• Mayco colors can be applied with a brush, sponge, detailer bottle, mats, stamps or silkscreens.
