Performing just as their counterpart, Speckled Stroke & Coat glazes are an enhanced version of popular Stroke & Coat colors. The addition of small specks of color to the base glaze provides a fun visual interest that does not melt or flow during the 06 glaze firing. Stroke & Coat is the industry’s most versatile product. It can be applied on wet clay, earthenware bisque or stoneware bisque, fired from cone 06 to cone 10, in oxidation or reduction and used in every decorative way imaginable. Use these glazes to create intricate, detailed designs. Colors can butt up to one another without moving and when used in a majolica process, Stroke & Coat will not move nor blend with the colors beneath even when using light over dark. Stroke & Coat colors are intermixable, allowing artists to create custom shades. Thin with water or media to create a wash or watercolor style of design. Because the liquid color is consistent with the fired color, artists will have no trouble visualizing finished results as they create. Stroke & Coat fires glossy without clear glaze and is opaque with two to three coats. Because of its versatility, Stroke & Coat and Speckled Stroke & Coat is the ideal product of choice for studio, classroom, potter or fine artist..

The Creative Choice 

Stroke & Coat (The Wonder-glaze) is the industrys most versatile product. It can be applied to wet clay, earthenware bisque or stoneware bisque, fired from cone 06 to cone 10, in oxidation or reduction and used in every decorative way imaginable. Stroke & Coat can be the star or play a supporting role in endless glaze combinations. It is the ideal product of choice for the studio, classroom, potter, and fine artist. 

General Use

One coat will create a translucent finish with subsequent coats increasing opacity. We suggest 2-3 coats for opacity and all over coverage. Let dry between coats. Stroke & Coat glazes will fire to a gloss finish without clear glaze. However, if desired, a clear glaze may be added. For application to clay, we recommend leaving an area unglazed, such as the back or bottom of the ware, to allow for out-gassing of the clay during the firing process. Stroke & Coat glazes have been formulated to mature at shelf cone 06/05. Most Stroke & Coat glazes will maintain their color at higher temperatures, especially reds, oranges, yellows, greens and blues. Their performance changes at cone 6 is noted on each individual product label. We recommend testing prior to use. For more information on mid-range performance,

Helpful Hints

• SC-13 Grapel and SC-33 Fruit of the Vine are formulated with Chrome-tin pigments and can be sensitive to non-toxic clear glazes. We recommend prior testing and light application of the clear glaze to avoid milkiness. These colors will not fade when used with Maycos NT-CLR glaze.
• SC-70 Pink-a-Dot is more translucent than other Stroke & Coat glazes. Additional coats may be necessary to achieve opacity.
• Stroke & Coat glazes do not move or blend when used with other glazes. You can apply side-by-side or layer without losing integrity of design.

Product Features and Attributes
Stroke & Coat is a heavy-bodied, versatile glaze that has the widest range of use and application of any Mayco glaze. 

The extraordinary tolerance and forgiveness of Stroke & Coat allows it to be used as follows:
Firing Temperature – can be fired from cone 06 to cone 10.
Kiln Atmosphere – reduction or oxidation firing.
Surface – can be applied to greenware of bisque.
Body – can be applied to earthenware, stoneware or porcelain.
Application Thickness – translucent and water-color effects can be achieved with thin applications; full opacity is achieved with thicker applications – if layered it can create dimensional effects.
Intermixable – Stroke & Coat glazes can be blended to create new colors.
Design Integrity – can be used to created intricate, detailed designs.  Colors butted against one another will not blend.  Used in Majolica techniques the glaze will not move, nor will it blend into the base glaze beneath it
Light over Dark – light colors will remain opaque when layered on top of darker colors (3 coat coverage recommended).
Liquid-to-Fired Color Consistency – the colors in their liquid state accurately represent the fired color.
Glossy Finish – Stroke & Coat will fire to a gloss finish when three or more coats are applied – clear glaze is not required.
Wide Palette of Colors – Stroke & Coat glazes are available in over 70 vibrant bright and pastel shades.
