Mayco Stroke & Coat SC-078 Lime Light glaze, 236 ml

Mayco Stroke & Coat SC-078 Lime Light – gloss glaze for clay, bisque and stoneware

Stroke & Coat SC-078 Lime Light is a ceramic glaze from Mayco for painting and glazing wet clay, bisque and stoneware. It fires glossy, even without an additional clear glaze. The jar contains 236 ml.

One coat gives a translucent finish, and opacity increases with further coats. Mayco recommends 2–3 coats for full coverage. Stroke & Coat is available in other colours, which can be mixed with one another.

Applying the glaze

Stir the glaze well before use and brush it on evenly with a soft brush. Let each coat dry before applying the next. For transparent effects and soft gradients, thin the glaze with water or medium. As all Stroke & Coat colours can be intermixed, you can also vary the shade with other colours from the range.

• 1 coat: translucent
• 2–3 coats: opaque
• On pieces that stand on the kiln shelf, leave the foot ring free of glaze

Firing: firing range and behaviour at cone 6

Mayco formulates Stroke & Coat for cone 06/05 (approx. 998 °C and approx. 1031 °C respectively, guide value per Orton chart). It can be fired up to cone 10 (approx. 1285 °C, guide value per Orton chart), in oxidation or reduction.

At mid or high fire, fine designs may run. A test tile on your own clay will show you beforehand how the colour looks in your kiln.
