Mayco - Fundamentals

Shake well. Apply 2-3 coats to wet clay, greenware, or cone 04 bisque for use in design or solid coverage. Fundamentals® have a firing range from cone 06 to cone 10. If the form you are painting has texture, dab excess color out of texture, and never allow the glaze to pool in the texture.To intensify color or for use on dinnerware, apply clear or matte clear glaze. For use on clay or greenware, apply underglaze, allow to dry and fire to cone 04. If desired, apply clear glaze and re-fire to cone 06-05 for earthenware and cone 5-10 for stoneware (998°C–1285°C). For use on bisque, apply to cone 04 bisque, apply clear glaze if desired and re-fire earthenware to cone 06/05 and cone 5-10 for stoneware. Generally, a clear glaze finish is applied to bring out the true color and vividness of the product. We recommend NT-BR Clear One Brushing Glaze for low fire and SW-004 clear glaze for stoneware.

Fundamentals® Underglazes have been formulated to mature at cone 06/05. However most will maintain their color at higher temperatures. Their performance at cone 6 is noted on each individual product label. We recommend testing on your clay body and in your kiln prior to use.
