Mayco Ritual Glaze – SW-422 Hot Pink Melt Gloop – Pint

Glaze Overview

General Use

Before application: Stir thoroughly using a stick, palette knife, or the end of your brush, as it will be very thick in the jar. For better adhesion, lightly dampen the bisque surface with a sponge before application. Effects are achieved by applying the glaze with a syringe or squeeze bottle. A ceramic glaze syringe with a cap or the Mayco AC220 Detailer Tips and Bottle is recommended for precision. When cutting the Detailer Tip, be careful not to cut too far down, as this can affect the control and flow of the glaze during application.

Basic Application: Apply dots in varying thickness and patterns to greenware or soft-fired, cone 04 stoneware bisque (1940°F/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. Fire to preferred temperature; cone 5-10 (2167°F-2345°F/ 1186°C-1285°C). Sample tile was fired to cone 6 oxidation (1222°C/2232°F). Testing is recommended. Results may vary.

Storage: Due to the thickness of Melt Gloop, it’s recommended to level out the glaze by gently tapping the product jar onto a table surface after application. This helps alleviate any peaks in the glaze that could lead to drying issues.

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.
• Heavy application may cause the glaze to pop off.

Glaze is a glassy melted coating that is fired onto ceramic pieces. Once fired, glazes may be glossy, satin, or matte. If you’re creating clay surfaces intended to hold food, a gloss glaze is an excellent option because it makes it easier to clean the dish. A matte glaze will be non-reflective and can be smooth or stony to the touch. Satin glazes will have a low, waxy sheen that is smooth in texture.

Underglazes are commercial products made up of finely ground clays and frits with oxides and stains. Underglazes usually require a clear or transparent glaze on top of them to seal the surface. You can paint, pour, spray, or dip the underglazes on your creations. Usually, underglazes require three coats. However, Clay-King offers one-coat products that are often fluxed to produce a low sheen.
