Mayco SC-99 Char-Ming Ceramic Glaze

Mayco Stroke & Coat SC-99 Char-Ming glaze gives a deep charcoal gloss at low temperature. Higher firing makes it opaque and slightly darker.

Char-Ming is a heavily pigmented, viscous Stroke & Coat glaze for brush strokes, detail work and opaque coverage. One coat creates a translucent finish, while two to three coats build opacity and even, glossy coverage without a clear glaze.

Glazes from the Mayco Stroke & Coat series are stable, glossy and highly pigmented, giving vivid, opaque colors when applied in two to three layers. They can be applied on wet clay, earthenware bisque or stoneware bisque and used across low and higher firing temperatures in oxidation or reduction. Use them for intricate details, brush strokes, majolica-style decoration and all-over coverage. To obtain a watercolor effect with visible brush strokes, dilute the glaze with water or medium. Fired results depend on the clay body, application thickness, firing process and temperature.
