Howdy Partners,
I was wondering if Mayco Stroke and Coat glazes work as raku glazes
all by themselves. I do have some clear lowfire glaze to cover for
raku but I thought I might ask if anyone on list has tried these
glazes alone in raku. And how did they work under a clear in raku?
Now trying to find a kiln big enough for that friggin' bowl I made.

I have used Stroke and Coat on raku pots with good success.
On their own they look great and have good color response
although they are a bit matte.
Raku is not my area of expertise, but I've done a fair bit of playing
with it.
A good friend does a lot of raku and uses other underglazes with good =
success.

I do find that some of the colors do blister under clear glaze.
I have tried both commercial Mayco clear glazes and my own raku clear.
Takes some experimentation to find the exact temperature that works
to have them turn out right.
I've had the best success with the Mayco glazes
mixing them with a bit of frit (3124) and some glycerin prior to
applying them , and at least 3 coats are necessary.
I use Mayco glazes applied , sintered and then coated with
Mayco cone 6 clear on my tiles. All fired to c 6 in an electric kiln.
I have no affiliation with Mayco but I certainly think the Stroke and
Coats are a good product.
These can be seen at:

They are under TILES

Howdy Taylor, Many glazes work for raku and at other cones and applications
not usually recognized as/for the typical use. Here is where our
wonderings and museings will lead us to flops, but also to unusual and
exciting discoveries. a "flop" may look terrible and not function on a mug
or bowl but be an adventure on a vase or under/over another glaze. Useing
someone else's experiences in this regard with a particular glaze may block
what else there is to discover because of the many variables that exist
anytime each of us puts our hand and personal way to the
materials.
I think reminders and encouragement to just go ahead and try things is the
most important gift we give each other as artists, craftspersons, creative
visonaries and inquisitive seers...
Testing should be an on going discipline regularly participated. I hump
throw small 2-3" test bowls, and for vertical tests, small vase forms thrown
with their own drip and run saucer foot attached. these work well for
plucking from a hot kiln and do not interfere with the larger piece(s) being
fired.
Enjoyed fireing and visiting with you at NAU.
David
