What is Speckled Speckled Stroke & Coat?
Speckled Stroke & Coat® is a Non-Toxic speckled
glaze. It is perfect for use as an accent color or to add fun to
designs such as flower petals or vegetables. Speckled Stroke &
Coat is designed to color coordinate with regular Speckled
Stroke & Coat for a great decorating look. When used in
combination with other Mayco products, Speckled Stroke & Coat
adds variety and character to any project. This unique speckled
glaze produces both translucent and opaque coverage, depending
on the number of coats applied. Speckled Stroke & Coat can also
be used for Majolica/glaze on glaze decorating.
How do I decorate with Speckled Speckled 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. Speckled 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 bottle. Other techniques that can be used with Speckled
Stroke & Coat include marbleizing, spattering and sponging,
anything your heart desires.
Do I have to use clear glaze to achieve a glossy finish?
Speckled 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 Speckled Stroke & Coat designed only for bisque?
There’s no need to buy a separate glaze for each clay body you
work with. Apply Speckled Stroke & Coat to greenware, bisque,
earthenware or stoneware. Speckled Stroke & Coat’s unique
composition will fit high expansion talc bodies to low expansion
stonewares . . . all without crazing or shivering. When applying
Speckled Stroke & Coat to greenware, do not glaze the bottom of
the piece so that the gases can escape.
What should Speckled Stroke & Coat be fired to?
While the majority of glazes are designed to mature at shelf
cone 06, Speckled 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, Speckled Stroke & Coat
maintains it’s color, vibrancy & quality surface. All colors are
luster compatible. Speckled Stroke & Coat also works for Raku, a
low-fire form of pottery where the pots are removed from the
kiln as soon as the glaze has melted and then left to cool or
doused with water. All Speckled Stroke & Coat colors can be
fired at the same time without any color changes. Most Speckled
Stroke & Coat colors can be fired multiple times and still hold
their bright colors.
Can Speckled Stroke & Coat be used with other products?
Speckled Stroke & Coat can be mixed with other non-toxic glazes
to create a piece that shows off your unique style. Apply over
any non-moving glaze, underglaze or Astro Gem surface. When
thinned and applied on top of a Series 2000 Matte surface in a
brushstroke design or watercolor technique, Speckled Stroke &
Coat takes on the underlying matte characteristic of the glaze.
Stroke & Coat also looks great when used in combination with
Classic Crackles, Pottery Coat, Pottery Coat Stucco, Elements
and much more.
How is Speckled Stroke & Coat different from other bisque
strokes?
Speckled 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. Speckled
Stroke & Coat is the most versatile, easy to use and forgiving
glaze in the market. No wonder we call it a WonderGlaze.
