Mayco Foundations Series 5.68 L Gloss Glaze Set — 12×473 ml mixable, fast-drying & food-safe

Mayco Foundations Series Gloss Glaze 12-Pint Set is a classroom- and studio-ready assortment of 12 mixable, fast-drying opaque gloss glazes that fire to smooth, food-safe finishes.

This 12-pint assortment from Mayco collects the core Foundations (FN) opaque gloss colours in convenient 16 oz jars so you can stock a studio, classroom, or home pottery workspace with reliable, easy-to-use glazes. Formulated to be affordable and consistent, these liquid glazes dry quickly for same-day decorating and firing, layer cleanly without flowing, and mix to create extended palettes. They’re designed for low to mid-high fire ranges and are labeled for best performance at Cone 06/05–6.

How do these glazes behave when applied and fired?

Foundations glazes are non-flowing opaque glosses that are simple to brush on and predictable in the kiln. They dry fast for quick reworking, accept multiple coats, and mature to a high-gloss surface without requiring a clear overglaze.

• Shake jars 5–6 seconds before use to homogenize glaze.
• Apply 2–3 coats to Cone 04 bisque, then fire to Cone 06/05 (or higher).
• Alternatively brush on greenware and fire to Cone 04 after clay is bone-dry.
• Produces a smooth, high-gloss finish that’s dishwasher and food safe when fired properly.

Can I mix these glazes and layer them for custom effects?

• Intermixable to produce a wide array of custom hues and tones.
