Hello! Any of our washes used at full strength at cone 6 can potentially stick to the shelf at cone 6. If wiped back or thinned to be used as a stain, they will typically stay pretty dry.
I just ordered all of the washes and can hardly wait to try them out! I have very little experience with oxides and I am assuming the washes are oxides. Are these examples all done with one full strength application.? The bottles recommended that you dilute them. Again... another great mayco demo. I always learn so much!
You are correct! Our washes are basically just oxides without the health cautions of using powders. These samples are done with full strength application. We found that works best especially for combinations. We have recently updated out label verbiage so updated instructions will be out there soon! You can certainly use them diluted and that is typically best if applying them as a wash or antiquing over texture, but if you are using them in any sort of layering technique, full strength will produce more of a reaction. Thank you for the feedback. We are so glad to hear that you are finding these videos useful!
Have you tested the washes in a wood fired kiln in both the wood and salt chambers? Does it help to re-bisque to make the designs more permanent on smooth surfaces?
What cone and clay body was used on the plate samples? And is there a large variation in performance between cone 5 and 6, or clay body? Lots of great info here! Thanks for sharing. :0)
Excellent questions! The sample pieces are our stoneware bisque, which is a white slip cast or ram pressed body. They were fired to cone 6. There is not much variation between cone 5 and 6 or on other clay bodies. Glad to hear you found the video useful!
What would be the difference if you put the oxide on top of the glaze as compared to the other way around?
Can you combine washes together?
I read that you are from Belgium... Where in Belgium , I am a belgian too ... Thank for your answer . Your VDO ares very interesting ... J-C .
Hi! I know iron oxide won’t stick to shelves, but will manganese or copper stick since it does seem to change/get metallic at cone 6? Thanks!

We have not done testing with these in any atmospheric firings, but there should not be any need to rebisque to make designs permenant.
Hi, Question? Does S&C and the washes usually peek out of the top glaze? Or does the top glaze need to be a light color for that to happen?
It will depend on the top glaze, but usually they will!
How much overlap between the smoke and copper wash?

@@MaycoColors Good to know! Thanks for answering my questions. Stay well :0)
Manganese is Dark Rutile Green tones
Does that glaze for the 06 work with the regular stoneware glazes? Like Tigers eye etc?
Which 06 glaze are you referring to? All of our Stoneware Washes have a firing range from cone 06-cone10.
On the sample with Copper Wash and clear, was clear on top?
Yep!
