Mayco Clear: Natural Clear Dipping (1 USGallon/3.79lt)

About

S-2000 CRYSTAL CLEAR DIPPING

Cone 06: Clean, clear surface and gloss finish. Luster compatible.

Cone 6: Not recommended, use SW-001 instead.

Please note: Mayco don’t specifically recommend using their low-fire glazes at high-fire temperatures, although many potters do and have great success. In order to prevent surface irregularities, Mayco recommend a thinner application and only two coats.

TIP: S-2101 may not be compatible with all red clays as a blueish haze may appear after firing.
Ideal for large quantities of pieces. Dinnerware safe and luster compatible. S-2000 offers the same clarity as NT-CLR but contains fewer additives and is therefore thinner than NTCLR. This glaze has a higher coefficient of expansion (higher thermal expansion) and is more tolerant of high expansion bodies. S-2000 contains a light-blue dye to help you see where the glaze was applied. The fundamental performance difference between our two clear glazes is in their rates of expansion: NT-CLR has a lower rate of expansion, S-2000 a higher rate. As you gain experience with specific clays or bisque bodies and monitor firing results, you’ll understand which clear glaze is right for you.

LOW FIRE CLEAR GLAZE – DIPPING
Preserve and enhance the surface of your work with Mayco’s Dipping Clear Glazes. Functionally, clear glaze forms an impervious barrier that protects against liquids, dirt and abrasion. Aesthetically, our clear glazes provide a gloss finish over top of your coloured glaze decoration. Mayco offers two clear dipping glazes: NT-CLR and S-2000. Dipping glazes differ from brushing versions as they contain fewer organic additives, making the dipping glazes less viscous than brushing formulas. Dipping glazes allow for quick and efficient glazing on large pieces or a large number of pieces. The amount of glaze deposited on bisque is primarily a function of glaze viscosity and the amount of time the bisque is left in the glaze – careful attention to these two details are critical to obtaining satisfactory results.
