Mayco SY546 Fired Snow - Snow Effect 118 ml (R24409)

Mayco SY546 Fired Snow - Snow Effect 118 ml

Mayco SY546 Fired Snow is a decorative low-fire effect product that simulates the appearance of real snow by creating a matte, bright white, raised, and porous surface after firing. Its thick consistency produces dimensional, three-dimensional textures on the surface. In addition to winter- and Christmas-themed objects, it can be used to create fur, wool, and similar textural details on animal figures.

Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product thoroughly before use until a smooth and even consistency is achieved.
• Surface Preparation: The bisque or unfired glazed surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust before application.
• Heavy Application: Apply the product generously rather than in a thin coat to create a pronounced, raised, and dimensional snow texture.
• Thickness Effect: As the application thickness increases, the volume and textural definition of the snow effect may become more pronounced after firing.
• Maximum Thickness: The product can be applied up to 2 cm thick to create a more raised surface.
• Tool Selection: A palette knife can create sharp, dense textures; a sponge can produce irregular snow surfaces; a stiff brush can form fur-like details; and a squeeze bottle can create controlled raised patterns.
• Dilution: Do not add water, as it may alter the product’s structure and reduce the raised effect created after firing.
• Application Over Unfired Glaze: The product can be applied over an unfired glaze and fired together with it in a single firing.
• Colored Effect: The product can be carefully mixed with underglazes to create textured surfaces in different colors. Check the result on a test piece before the main application.
• Fur and Wool Texture: Fur- or wool-like surfaces can be created on figures such as lambs, dogs, and birds by using a stiff brush with stippling motions.
• Firing: Once the application is complete and the surface has dried, fire the product at approximately 1000°C.
• Decorative Use: Due to its porous and dimensional surface, the product should be used only on decorative objects and areas that do not come into contact with food.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the workspace is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Protect from freezing.
