Stroke & Coat Wonderglazes were originally developed to be a cone 06 bisque glaze. The "heavy-duty" performance of the glaze was built-in as a feature for novice, young (school children) or new practitioners; Mayco set out to develop a glaze that would almost "guarantee" a good fired result. "Goof-proof", forgiving, tolerant. As user from various markets began using the glaze they informed us of the amazing results they achieved, using the glaze in ways we had not intended or anticipated. The ultimate "happy accident."

15 years later Stroke & Coat has become Mayco's most popular glaze and it is used in every ceramics market.

Stroke & Coat is one of the most versatile, easy to use and forgiving glazes for ceramic decorating.

A one-coat application will create a translucent finish; a three-coat application will create an opaque finish.

While designed for bisque decorating Stroke & Coat can be applied to greenware (as with any new glaze application please test Stroke & Coat's compatibility with you clay body before engaging in large

Many Mayco low fire (cone 06) glazes can be fired to Cone 6. A description of the Cone 6 results are on the product label. Always test and protect your kiln shelves when testing a glaze to a temperature higher than the recommended firing temperature.
