Mayco Stoneware Light Flux Brush-on Glaze

Mayco’s SW-401P Light Flux Brush-on Glaze is a translucent cream colour when used alone cone 6. Cone 10 the increase in temperature will cause more movement. Shown over SW-119 Cinnabar.

Flux is a flowing glaze developed for use with other stoneware glazes to enhance the movement, promote reactions and interesting effects. Apply 2-3 coats of Flux under or over another mid-range glaze to bring about “hidden colours”. Flux can be brushed in layers, glaze trailed, plopped with a brush, and blotted with a sponge. The thicker the application, the more mobility there will be.

Good to know:

• The order in which you apply Mayco Flux – above or beneath another glaze – impacts the fired result. Designed to fire to cone 5/6, but can be fired to cone 9/10
• Non-toxic (lead-free)– Perfect for tableware. Please follow manufacturer instructions.
• Designed to fire to cone 5/6 (approx. 1230°C.)
• Successfully used at cone 9/10, oxidation or reduction
• Variables that influence movement include the fluidity of the companion glaze, application methods, thickness and orientation of application, number of coats, firing temperature and program.

• To prevent glaze run-off, avoid applying Flux to the bottom third of your ware. The unique material composite of Flux alters the character of the supplemental glazes, when applied in combination.
