Stroke & Coat

Stroke & Coat® is the industry’s most versatile glaze. 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. All of our samples are shown fired to cone 6 oxidation.

Check each color label under “Special Notes” for information regarding color performance at higher temperatures or see samples chips at MaycoColors.com. One coat will create a translucent finish with subsequent coats adding opacity. We suggest 2-3 coats for full opacity and all over coverage. We recommend a soft fan brush, such as CB604 #4 or CB618 #8 Soft Fan, for glaze application. Stir frequently as crystals tend to settle in the jar due to their weight. Redistribution of crystals may be required during the final coat.

At higher temperatures, Jungle Gems™ have more mobility. We recommend receding layers of glaze when applying. Avoid heavy application of crystals at the bottom third of ware as the crystals tend to flow at higher temperatures on verticalpieces and can adhere to the kiln shelves. Place a tile or a piece of scrap bisque beneath the piece to prevent glaze from running onto your kiln shelves. Fire to shelf cone 5-10. We recommend testing at your preferred firing temperature and clay body prior to use.
