I suggest that people use two separate plates for the two colours. That way any unused glaze can get scraped back into the bottles ..... less waste xxxx

I'm so glad that you used KYM brown bear b/c I can't find a lot of glazes that don't get "eaten up" by dark clays. Your pieces were beautiful.

I’d also like to know if we can color the greenware without doing the overlaying of glazes on each other or will they run a bit? Sorry for all the questions. Just want to make sure.
@carmenallen8490 Жыл бұрын
Thank you! So the movement with SCs will depend on how thick it is applied. It never really runs per say, but it can blur or sag a bit if it is thick or if they are overlapping.

@zippytippie453 Жыл бұрын
Just making sure I understand, no clear glaze over the stroke and coat areas? I was told I needed to put clear glaze over it to get the shiny finish.
@MaycoColors Жыл бұрын
Nope! Stroke & Coat is a glaze and will fire glossy. It is dinnerware safe without a clear glaze, too. Clear glaze over Stroke & Coat at midrange can also blur your design (if you are applying a more intricate design with Stroke & Coat), so no clear glaze is necessary.
@uncsoob8 ай бұрын
Will the stroke and cost drip or sag into the scraffito areas? Also what if we want the carved areas to be glossy? Would u recommend putting clear just in those areas?
@tricialee5 Жыл бұрын
Carmen, the direction of your brush strokes are primarily horizontal - even when blending both colors. And for trying to avoid a 'harsh' line, your strokes were also in horizontal direction. Is there any advantage to stroking in a vertical direction to help the blending of colors?? thank you.
@carmenallen8490 Жыл бұрын
I like to blend horizontal because then as i blend I can have the brush loaded with it's main color, but then one side of it can pick up the color I'm blending it with, which helps create a smooth transition between the two colors. I'd imagine if i tried to do it vertically it would end up with a lot of stripes.

Interesting video, and even more interesting to go right from Greenware right to cone 6 glaze firing!! I've just bought my first assortment of 8oz S&C.. .... Oh, at the end of the video you say you are doing a bisque 04 and then a glaze fire 6.. But your descriptions says you're going from greenware straight to cone 6... ? Confused. Do you ever skip the bisque fire?
@catherinemontalvan4340 Жыл бұрын
Same question 🙋🏻♀️
@carmenallen84907 ай бұрын
These are not fired straight to cone 6. SC is applied to leather hard clay, the pieces are carved, bisque fired, stoneware glaze is applied to the unglazed areas, then fired to cone 6. If you skip the bisque fire, you need to leave at least 1/3 of the piece unglazes for outgassing. This process here allows you to glaze the entire piece.

I tried stroke and coat on green ware and made a cute flower and after the first fire I was perfect. But then I put wax on the flower and used the studio glazes to put on the inside of the cup and around the flower and fired again. After the second fire the stroke and coat flower lost some of its details and looked bad. Any suggestions why this happened in the second fire?
@MaycoColors Жыл бұрын
Hi! It is more than likely the temperature you fired to during the second firing as higher temperatures can make Stroke & Coat blur. You are also welcome to email our technical team at technical@maycocolors.com for more insight on this question!

If I just want to use stroke and coat on greenware without more glaze later, can I fire straight to cone 6 and skip the bisque firing?
@MaycoColors9 ай бұрын
It is possible to do so but you need to leave an area unglazed for outgassing but there could also be some surface issues with this process. We suggest testing prior to use.
@debragraham2032 Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Ok, perhaps you can help with a problem I have. I painted a bowl with another company's underglazes, bisque fired-look great. Clear glazed with zinc-free clear and glaze fired. Underwhelmed! Can I go over glaze fired image with repainting using Stroke and Coat to try to pop image? I don't like it as is.
@MaycoColors Жыл бұрын
If you are firing to cone 6, you may find the image to blur with Stroke & Coat. There is also a video on using Stroke & Coat at cone 6 on our channel. For more insight, we would suggest reaching out to our technical team at technical@maycocolors.com for more advice.
@codygreene43497 ай бұрын
Hey Carmen, so I’m a little confused. After bisque, are you dipping the entire piece with the frosted line and other mentioned glazes? Even the areas that stroke and coat have been applied to? If so.. do those glazes not affect the stroke and coat areas color? I realize you’re using wax resist on the sgraffito areas. You’re very talented btw.
@carmenallen84907 ай бұрын
Hello! Thank you for the kind words. I tend to dip it in sections to avoid having to clean up the SC area, but since the SC will be a mature glazed surface after bisque firing, you could dip the entire piece and clean up the SC surface. Layering another glaze over the SC will affect the outcome.

So firing glazed green ware at Cone 6…what happens with the missed Bisque 04/05?
@MaycoColors9 ай бұрын
So, she puts her pieces through a bisque firing first with the Stroke & Coat. Single firing can be done, but can create surface issues. We typically suggest bisque firing before the glaze fire.

I’m a little worried because a handful of clay pots i put stroke n coat on are in the bisque firing rn with a bunch of other work, probably touching. Are they gonna be ok or will they get stuck together? 😥

Can you re-apply strok n coat on bisqueware. Will it running or discoloring the original color in cone 5 or 6. Also i have had some problems if late of applying strok n coat and the CLAY rim of the cups splitting as SC dries IT NEVER DID BEFORE. BUT AM WONDERING IF I PUT IT ON AND THE CLAY IS A LITTLE WET???
@carmenallen84907 ай бұрын
Yes, you can reapply SC and it will not affect the outcome of cone 6. Movement with SC occurs because the glaze is applied thick, not because it was reglazed.

No. The technique is showing on greenware. Carmen will bisque fire after applying the stroke and coat and carving her design to bisque temperatures before adding a stoneware glaze then firing to stoneware temperatures. This can be done on low-fire clay, too.
