Cobblestone Glazes
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 2 coats using a Soft Fan Brush while under coat is damp but not shiny. Apply 2nd coat when first is damp but not shiny. Apply two coats of a brush glaze to all unpainted bisque areas. One coat to all areas with minimal S&C coverage. No brush glaze is needed if 3 coats of S&C are used.
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.
Notes:
Application thickness, the drying time before 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.
SG-202 White Cobblestone can be tinted with One Stroke or Stroke & Coat. Darker pigment colors work best. Thin pigment before appling. Too much Stroke & Coat color added will lessen the break up pattern
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
Glitter Glazes (sample photo coming soon!)
Characteristics:
SG-301 Glitter Glaze is a non-toxic clear glaze with glitter specks. This glaze adds a subtle sparkle to your project..

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.

Notes:

Keep glaze well mixed during use to keep glitter suspended in the glaze.
Too heavy an application over dark colors "can" result in a milky finish.
When used over SC-13 Grapel, SC-33 Fruit of the Vine, and UG-92 Lilac, underlying colors may lighten.
Glitter glaze will be a sparkling silver metallic over dark colors and a reflective onyx sparkle over light colors.
Clean Brush well after use. Glitter may adhere to the brush hairs if not cleaned well. Thoroughly inspect brush hairs after cleaning to ensure no glitter remains in the brush.
