Shake for 5-6 seconds before use. Dispense glaze onto a palette (tile, plate, etc.) and apply with your brush or decorating accessory of choice (sponge, stamp, etc.).

Foundations Opaque glazes were designed to mature at a shelf cone 06 (999° C). When applying Foundations over a large surface area we recommend a broad, soft brush, such as a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan Brush. Try to get the brush fully saturated (loaded) and apply each coat in the same direction.

Make sure the glaze has dried thoroughly prior to firing. A medium ramp/firing rate is recommended (250°F per hour).

USAGE VARIATIONS AND FAQ’S

Design Details Preserved
Foundation Opaques perform well as a base color on which detailed design work can be laid.
They are a little more fluid that Stroke & Coat®, but design integrity will remain after firing.

All Over Coverage
Not only do you get great coverage with just 2-3 coats but the cost-per-ounce makes Foundations one of the best economic choices for large volume, large areas uses.

Foundation glazes are non-toxic and food safe - perfect for food surfaces.


Q: Can Foundations be applied to greenware or clay?
A: Mayco has tested the Foundations Opaque glazes on clay with successful results. Apply 2-3 coats of Foundations over the entire piece, leaving an area unglazed such as a back or bottom to allow for outgassing. Clay should be totally dry before firing. Fire to shelf cone 04 (1060° C).

Q: Can Foundations be fired to higher temperatures (cone 6 and above)?
A: Many Foundations Opaques can be fired to cone 6. Darker colors - green, red, blue, orange, purple - will maintain much of their original color value (they may darken a bit compared to cone 06 results). Lightly pigmented colors - pink, yellow, tan, lighter purples - will fade. Always test to see if this application variance will work on your specific project.
