Cone 6 oxidation (first photo): Dark Flux is a translucent brown color when used alone.

Cone 10 oxidation (second photo): The increase in temperature will cause more movement.

TIP: Chip shown over SW-119 Cinnabar. SW-401 Light Flux and SW-402 Dark Flux are mid-range glazes that were developed to be used in combination with other mid-range glazes to produce flowing effects. Designed to fire to cone 5/6, but can be fired to cone 9/10 (movement will be more pronounced at higher temperatures).

Mayco’s Stoneware Specialty Glaze

Mayco Flux interacts with other glazes to create movement, bringing about “hidden” colors and visual texture. Flux is a flowing glaze developed for use with other stoneware glazes to enhance the movement, promote reactions and interesting effects. Apply 2-3 coats of Flux under or over another mid-range glaze to bring about “hidden colors”. Flux can be brushed in layers, glaze trailed, plopped with a brush, and blotted with a sponge. The thicker the application, the more mobility there will be.

General Use

• The order in which you apply Mayco Flux – above or beneath another glaze – impacts the fired result.
• Designed to fire to cone 5/6, but can be fired to cone 9/10.
• Variables that influence movement include the fluidity of the companion glaze, application methods, thickness and orientation of application, number of coats, firing temperature and program.
• To prevent glaze run-off, avoid applying Flux to the bottom third of your ware.
• The unique material composite of Flux alters the character of the supplemental glazes, when applied in combination.
