TIP: This glaze WILL move. Take care when using on vertical pieces reduce glaze thickness towards the bottom third to minimize run-off. Overglaze compatible. At cone 6: Enhanced mobility, surface issues may occur. 

MAYCO EL-131 TURTLE SHELL is certified as AP Non-Toxic, safe for use by artists of all ages when used according to manufacturer’s directions. These glazes also meet Food Safe regulations as set by the FDA and are considered dinnerware safe when used according to manufacturer’s directions as the surface is chemically durable, and they do not exhibit textured surface issues.

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.
