-
SG-201 Black Cobblestone
-
SG-202 White Cobblestone
Characteristics:
Cobblestone is a unique non-toxic textural glaze that forms a raised
rectangular chip like texture.
Application:
-
Apply to properly fired shelf cone 04
-
Apply over any non-toxic glaze, fired or not. Works best over
un-fired glaze
-
Apply 2 coats using a Soft Fan Brush
-
Pattern break-up is determined by the application direction of the
brush stroke. Large break up heavier application, small breakup
lighter application
-
If application is too light the cobblestone will not break up.
Reapplying and touching up will not achieve a break up
-
Fire to shelf cone 06 or higher
Notes:
-
Application thickness, the drying time before firing, method and
temperature of firing will have an effect on the final finish
-
Apply coats of cobblestone while the underlying glaze is still damp
do not allow cobblestone to dry between coats
-
Handle the ware carefully as the dried Cobblestone has a tendency
to flake off. Pieces of cobblestone that fall off may be reapplied to
the ware using AC-302 Wax Resist
-
If cobblestone flakes off and you reapply cobblestone in that area
this area will have a different break up pattern
-
A protective coating of AC-302 Wax Resist can be applied over the
cobblestone while the cobblestone is still damp to help alleviate the
flaking of the product
-
SG-202 White Cobblestone can be tinted with One Stroke or Stroke
& Coat. Darker pigment colors work best. Always do a test firing.
Too much Stroke & Coat color added will lessen the break up
pattern
-
SG-202 White Cobblestone can be made into various colors by
applying 1 coat of Stroke and Coat on top of the damp
cobblestone.(heavy application of S&C can interfere with the break
up)
-
SG-201 Black Cobblestone will not break up over Matte glazes. If
Black Cobblestone is desired on Mattes use SG-202 and apply 1 coat of
SC-15 to achieve this effect
-
Not recommended for food surface contact due to surface
characteristics
-
Excellent for texture effects on frogs, turtles, etc.
-
Cobblestones can be applied using Mayco's Writer tip bottles
AC-222/223 or spattered using Mayco's Spatter brush RB-150

written on with chalk over and over.

Apply to properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque

Characteristics:
SG-301 Glitter Glaze is a non-toxic clear glaze with glitter specks.
This glaze adds a subtle sparkle to your project. Glitter glaze enhances
Stroke & Coats® colors, translucent and opaque underglazes, and may
also be used with Series 2000 and other non-toxic glazes. Results will
vary, depending on the underlying glaze. We recommend testing to determine
best application for desired results.
Application:
-
Shake and stir well to keep glitter suspended in the glaze during
use. Stir frequently during application to keep particles suspended in
the glaze.
-
When applying over Stroke & Coats®, apply 1 coat of SG-301
over a 3 coat application of Stroke & Coat®.
-
Apply 2 coats of SG-301 over bisque.
-
Apply 2 coats over translucent and opaque underglazes.
-
Apply 1 coat over Series 2000™ glazes.
-
Watch the dispersal of the specks during application. Do not allow
large build-ups or globs of specks in one area. Use the Soft Fan brush
to evenly disperse the specks during application.
-
Brush on clear glaze in areas not covered with SG-301 Glitter Glaze
if necessary.
-
Dipping in clear glaze is not recommended.
Firing:
Notes:
-
Non-toxic
-
Food safe
-
Apply with a Soft Fan Brush, using the largest brush to cover the

-
Keep glaze well mixed during use to keep glitter suspended in the

Too heavy an application over dark colors "can" result in
a milky finish

Lilac, underlying colors may lighten
-
Glitter glaze will be a sparkling silver metallic over dark colors
and a reflective onyx sparkle over light colors

adhere to the brush hairs if not cleaned well. Thoroughly inspect
brush hairs after cleaning to ensure no glitter remains in the brush
