Mayco Jungle Gems CG-779 Black Opal 118ml
£7.19 (inc VAT)
Mayco’s Jungle Gems & Crystalites are gloss glaze bases with pieces of glass frit that melt when fired. As the crystals melt, they produce dramatic, colourful patterns and effects.
Description
Drama and excitement! They call it ART IN A JAR for good reason. These beautiful glazes transform in the kiln when small pieces of glass frit burst into colour to form patterns during the firing process. Fire at 999°C - or go higher for different results. Use alone for stunning effects - or combine with the other glazes in the Mayco range - e.g. Cobblestones, Stroke & Coat, Foundations. Review individual jar labels for cone 6 results. Layer with other Jungle Gems or Crystalites for even more fascinating combinations.
To apply - shake the jar well and apply 3 coats, allowing each one to dry before next application. Avoid placing the crystals at the bottom of the ware, especially if firing to higher temperatures. Recommended to use a soft fan brush for even placement of the crystals. Use a complementary Foundations glaze in order to make your crystals go further.
Note - the crystals will melt when fired, which may create a textured surface. As that surface may be difficult to properly clean if in contact with food, we recommend crystal glazes be used on decorative ware only. Non-toxic.
