Mayco Glaze SC-97 Cant-elope Pint
Stroke & Coat® glazes are certified AP non-toxic and food safe.Stroke & Coat® glazes can be applied to wet or leather-hard clay as well
as bisque, fired from cone 06 to 10, in oxidation or reduction. Apply for all
over coverage or in a painterly style, 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 artists.
Stroke & Coat
® is the premier product to use in the
“One Fire” or “1-2-3 Step” method of decorating on bisque. Apply to
bisque, let dry, clear glaze and fire, producing a finish that is
almost fool proof for everyone from the amateur to the master ceramist.
If one coat is applied, you get transparent coverage, two coats
give a semi-opaque coverage, and three coats give a solid coverage. The
variety of colors is not limited to the palette given, as all are
inter-mixable to obtain intermediate shades. When applied heavily the
color will retain some dimensional qualities that give the decorator a
useful tool in a variety of techniques. They can also be applied over
any non-moving glaze, underglaze, or Astro Gem™ surface. When thinned
Stroke and Coat
®; is applied on top of a Series 2000 Matte
surface in a brushstroke design or watercolor technique, Stroke &
Coat takes on the underlying matte characteristic of the glaze. Two to
three coats on top of a Series 2000 Matte glaze will give a shinier
surface.
Stroke & Coat colors range from vibrant brights to pastel
shades, and Speckled Stroke & Coats® provide a variety of speckled
colors for today’s decorating needs. They can be used in a variety of
decorating techniques like antiquing, banding, brushstroke work,
dimensional accents, glaze butting, Majolica, marbleizing, spattering,
sponging, stenciling and watercolor applications. A top coat of a clear
glaze or a S-2000 transparent glaze should be applied to the dried
color when not applied over an unfired glaze, as in a Majolica
technique. This topcoat of glaze can be a clear dipping or a brush on
type of clear glaze. Stroke and Coats‚ are resistant to streaking or
bleeding of the colors when the top coat of glaze is applied to the dry
color, whether it is dipped, sponged or brushed onto the surface. There
is no bleeding or running of the colors in the firing process.

Special Notes:
- SC-13 Grapel, SC-33 Fruit of the Vine and SC-85 Orkid are formulated with chrome-tin pigments and can be sensitive to non-toxic clear glazes; namely – a milky/cloudy haze may form over the colors. Test by adding a light application of the clear glaze to these colors. These colors will not fade when used with Mayco’s Clear One Dipping (NT-CLR).
- SC-70 Pink-a-Dot is more translucent than other Stroke & Coat® glazes. Additional coats (more than 3) 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 the integrity of the design.
- Can be applied with a brush, sponge, detailer bottle, mats, stamps or silkscreens.
SECTION 2: PRODUCT USE
How do I decorate with Stroke & Coat®?
Apply
one coat for a translucent look and three coats for an opaque look. You
get great coverage, even when applying light colors over dark colors.
Stroke & Coat does not run or bleed, regardless of how it is
applied. Colors can be layered or butted up against other colors. Use
for precise design work or layered with other glazes for majolica
projects. Not the conventional user? Thin it with water and spray apply
with a spray bottle. Or create a dimensional look by using in a
detailer or slip trialing bottle. Other techniques that can be used with Stroke &
Coat include marbleizing, spattering and sponging, anything your heart
desires.
Do I have to use clear glaze to achieve a glossy finish?
Stroke & Coat®,
because of their formulation, fire glossy and do not require a clear
glaze application. But, if desired, they are compatible with a clear
glaze in one firing.
Is Stroke & Coat® designed only for bisque?
There’s no need to buy a separate glaze for each clay body you work with. Apply Stroke & Coat®
to greenware, bisque, earthenware or stoneware. Stroke and Coat’s
unique composition will fit high expansion talc bodies to low expansion
stonewares . . . all without crazing or shivering. When applying Stroke
& Coat
® to greenware, do not glaze the bottom of the piece so that the gases can escape.
What should Stroke & Coat® be fired to?
While
the majority of glazes are designed to mature at shelf cone 06, Stroke
& Coat performs well up to cone 9 & 10. Unlike some glazes
where overfiring by one or two cone difference means having washed out
color, Stroke & Coat
® maintains it’s color, vibrancy
& quality surface. All colors are luster compatible. Stroke &
Coat also works for Raku. All Stroke & Coat colors can be fired at
the same time without any color changes. Most Stroke & Coat colors
can be fired multiple times and still hold their bright colors.
How is Stroke & Coat® different from other bisque strokes?
Stroke & Coat®
covers up misapplications and corrects mistakes resulting in a
beautiful finished piece time after time. It accommodates the user and
occasional underfired bisque because of the product qualities built
into the glaze. Stroke & Coat is the most versatile, easy to use
and forgiving glaze in the market. No wonder we call it a Wonder Glaze.
