Mayco CR856 Crystals Glazes is a ready-to-use liquid glaze that creates dynamic and decorative burst effects on the surface after firing.

It can be used on decorative objects, serving ware, and pottery projects where more dynamic surfaces are preferred over a solid-color finish.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The distinctive surface character of Mayco CR856 Crystals Glazes can make its burst effects stand out more prominently when paired with simple and neutral tones:

Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product thoroughly before application to ensure that the pigments and effect-producing particles within the glaze are evenly distributed.
• Coat application: Applying 2 coats is recommended. Care should be taken to maintain an even thickness across the entire surface.
• Effect distribution: During application, distribute the particles that create the burst effect in a controlled manner to prevent them from becoming concentrated in a single area.
• Effect appearance: The patterns and burst effects produced after firing may vary from one application to another. This variation is part of the product's decorative character.
• Thickness effect: Applying the glaze in thinner or thicker layers may alter the intensity, size, and distribution of the effects across the surface.
• Form effect: Glaze and effect particles may accumulate more heavily in recessed, curved, and horizontal areas, creating a more concentrated appearance in these regions.
• Even application: Creating an even base layer of glaze across the surface can help produce a more controlled effect.
• Clay body selection: The color of the clay body may influence the final glaze and effect appearance. Results may differ between light and dark clay bodies.
• Glaze combinations: When used together with other glazes, test the interaction of color, surface, and effects on a test tile before applying to the final piece.
• Food use: When properly applied and fired under the recommended conditions, this glaze can be used on vessels intended for contact with hot food.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the working area is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
