MAYCO CHUNKIES EL-209 NIGHT SKY: certified as AP Non-Toxic, safe for use by artists of all ages when used according to manufacturer’s directions. However, they are not recommended for dinnerware as the fired finish is not chemically durable and can be impacted by contact with liquid or food. Additionally, if your ware exhibits textured surface issues such as cracks or crazing, attempts to adequately clean the surface may cause the underlying low-fire porous ware to absorb water and fail. Recommended for ornamental use only.

Inspired by aspects of nature, Elements™ and Elements™ Chunkies produce lush, organic, and earthy hues. Designed to simulate the look of mid-range glazes in a cone 06/05 oxidation kiln firing. May be used for all over coverage or in design, used alone or in combination with other Mayco glazes.
 
Shake for five to six seconds before use. Dispense glaze onto a palette (tile, plate, etc.) and apply with a soft brush or decorating accessory of choice (sponge, stamp, etc.). Dipping your brush directly into the jar may contaminate the jar’s contents, especially if you are using other glazes. Apply three to four coats to your piece. Elements™ glazes were designed to mature at a shelf cone 06 (999° C or 1830º F). When applying them over a large surface area, we recommend a broad, soft fan brush.

Moisten the brush with water first. The brush fully saturated (loaded) and each coat applied in the same direction. When the wet look has gone from the first coat, you may apply the next coat of glaze. Be sure the glaze has dried thoroughly prior to firing. A medium ramp/firing rate is recommended (250°F per hour) at shelf cone 06. Elements™ can be fired at higher temperatures but will change in appearance. We recommend testing prior to use.
