Mayco Stoneware Brush-On: Black Mudcrack 473ml

Mayco Stoneware Brush-On: Black Mudcrack 473ml

Mudcrack glazes have a soft matte finish that will pull apart during the firing to reveal the underlying clay body. We have a white and a black Mudcrack available. As with all of our Stoneware Glazes, our texture glazes work well on a variety of clay bodies and have a firing range from cone 5 to cone 10.

Application tips:

• Shake vigorously upon opening. Continue to shake and stir to increase fluidity to the consistency of cream.
• For shown chip results, apply directly to bisqueware.
• Apply 2-3 coats. Allow glaze to semi-dry between coats.
• The thicker the application, the more textured the surface will be.
• If the glaze does not crack on the piece before firing, it will not crack after firing.
• Due to the surface texture, we recommend that these glazes only be used on decorative surfaces.
• Mudcrack can be applied over Stoneware Gloss glazes for a slightly flatter texture.
• Mudcrack can be used in combination with other Stoneware glazes to achieve different textures and effects. We recommend testing prior to use.

Stoneware Classic & Matte Glazes

Mayco Stoneware Classic glazes are a mixture of AP Non-Toxic and CL (Health Caution) label. Please review the individual color label for health classification and any appropriate warnings. All but one (see below) of the Stoneware glazes in the Classic line are Food Safe, according to FDA standards. Note: Finishedware producers may be required to have their ware food safe tested prior to introducing into commerce. With the exception of those noted below, The Stoneware Classic and Matte glazes are also Dinnerware Safe when used according to manufacturer’s directions and fired to the clay body’s vitrification temperatures. SW-132 Mirror Black, SW-182 Antique Brass, SW-164 Satin Patina, SW-185 Rainforest, SW-186 Azurite, SW-187 Himalayan Salt, SW-188 Landslide, SW-195 Riptide, and SW-197 Fossil Rock are not Dinnerware Safe due to the durability of the fired glaze. Some glazes, regardless of surface texture or porosity of underlying clay body, will be designated as not suitable for dinnerware as the fired glaze surface is not durable and can be impacted by contact with food or liquids. While it may not be harmful, it is certainly not desirable. SW-132 Mirror Black, SW-182 Antique Brass, SW-164 Satin Patina, SW-185 Rainforest, SW-186 Azurite, SW-187 Himalayan Salt, SW-188 Landslide, SW-195 Riptide, and SW-197 Fossil Rock are recommended for ornamental use only.

Mayco Stoneware Crystal glazes are a mixture of AP Non-Toxic and CL (Health Caution) label. Please review the label for the individual color’s health classification and any appropriate warnings. All of the glazes in the Crystal line are Food Safe, according to FDA standards. Note: Finishedware producers may be required to have their ware food safe tested prior to introducing into commerce. The Stoneware Crystal glazes are also Dinnerware Safe when used according to manufacturer’s directions and fired to the clay body’s vitrification temperatures. However, discretion and judgment should be used if the glaze surface is heavily textured, less from a safety and more from an aesthetic perspective.
