General Use

• Mayco glazes are user-friendly in application, layering and firing.
• Used alone, stoneware glazes produce beautiful color variations; one coat will allow the clay body to show through the glaze and two to three coats deepen the color.
• The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired results. Due to variability, we recommend testing prior to application to artwork.
• SW-136 Weathered Blue, SW-137 Storm Gray, and SW-138 Lemon Meringue are unique glazes that change in appearance with number of glaze coats. One coat will display more color while additional coats will increase mottling and white variegation.

NOTE: Please refer to each specific glaze product label for information about applications for dinnerware, health, and food safety. All Mayco Stoneware glazes are dinnerware safe when used according to manufacturer’s directions, except where noted by the “Not Dinnerware Safe” icon. This may be due to surface durability or texture of fired surface. Finished ware producers may be required to have their ware food safe tested prior to introducing into commerce.
