Mayco SW-420 White Melt Gloop stoneware glaze

Mayco Melt Gloops are stoneware glazes designed for application in dots or creating a dripping effect down your ceramic piece using a syringe or squeeze bottle. Apply dots in varying thickness and patterns to greenware or soft-fired, cone 04 stoneware bisque (1060°C). For more movement and a dripping effect, apply larger dots on a vertical surface. The glaze can flow over textured areas. Continuously shake your applicator tool during use to eliminate air bubbles that can disrupt the flow of glaze and cause uneven texture or splatter. Allow the glaze to dry. It is recommended to fire your piece as soon as possible to prevent issues with glaze adhesion.

Tips for use:

• Effects are achieved by applying glaze with a syringe or squeeze bottle on greenware or soft-fired, cone 04 stoneware bisque (1940°F/1060°C).
• For a more dynamic effect and a dripping appearance, apply larger dots on a vertical surface.
• The glaze can flow over textured areas.
• For better adhesion, dampen the bisque with a sponge before applying.
• Heavy application or over-handling may cause the glaze to pop off. Handle with care.
• Can be layered and marbled with other Melt Gloop colors.
• When using Melt Gloop over a stoneware engobe or underglaze, it is recommended to bisque fire to cone 04 before applying Melt Gloop.
• Glaze remains dimensional over underglazes and stoneware engobes; flattens under or over a glaze.
• It is recommended to fire your piece as soon as possible to prevent issues with glaze adhesion.
• When applied as a horizontal line, the fired glaze effect may separate or break, turning into vertical drips.
• When building layers, it is recommended to apply glaze on the shoulder or rim of the piece to help with adhesion.
