MAYCO Ritual Glazes | SW422 Hot Pink Melt Gloop

Ritual Glazes by MAYCO enhance your pieces with out-of-this-world textures and pops of colour at mid-range to high-fire temperatures.

The Melt Gloop range is designed for application in dots or for creating a dripping effect down your ceramic piece using a syringe or squeeze bottle. 

Key Features

• Broad firing range from cone 5 (1,180°C) - cone 10 (1,285°C). At higher temperatures there may be increased movement and texture.
• Ideal for layering: Melt Gloop can be layered or marbled with different colours within the range, with underglazes/engobes, or with other glazes such as MAYCO's Stoneware.
• Dinnerware Safety: While no toxic materials are used, this range is not recommended for dinnerware due to surface texture. However, it can be used on the outside of functional ware, below the lip line. 

Application

• Stir thoroughly before use. Glaze will be thick.
• Using a syringe or squeeze bottle, apply the glaze in dots to greenware or bisque.
• For better adhesion, dampen the bisque with a sponge before applying.
• For a more dynamic effect and a dripping appearance, apply larger dots on a vertical surface. 
• Be cautious of putting glaze too low on your piece, as it may run onto the kiln shelf during firing. 
• When building layers, it is recommended to apply glaze on the shoulder or rim of the piece to help with adhesion.
• Very heavy application or over-handling may cause the glaze to flake off the ware prior to firing. Handle with care and fire your piece as soon as possible.
• Glaze will remain dimensional over underglazes and engobes but will flatten under or over a glaze. For best results, it is recommended to bisque fire the underglaze before applying Gloop (rather than applying both to bisque).
• When applied as a horizontal line, the fired glaze effect may separate or break, turning into vertical drips.
• Darker colours may cause clay body staining after firing.

Note: Tiles shown are fired vertically on a white clay body to cone 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results. Because results will vary based on firing conditions and layering techniques, we always recommend trying the glaze on a test tile prior to use.
