Mason 6001 Alpine Rose Stain Glazes. Low Fire-Mayco We will only ship clay

We will only ship clay at the customer’s risk during cold months

the original concept is that only the tip is used when applying color

High quantities of bentonite however can result in an increase in cracking while drying due to the extremely small size of the particles

Has fine sand and is a difficult body to crack during firing

Calcined kaolin is valuable in glaze formulations that contain high amounts of kaolin to source alumina and which are thus subject to shrinkage and cracking-during-drying problems

Mason 6001 Alpine Rose Stain Glazes. Low Fire-Mayco We will only ship clayStains are a mixture of ceramic oxides and coloring metal oxides that are melted in kilns, quenched, ground to specific mesh size (some are acid washed), and colored with organic dyes to simulate the fired color. Essentially they are fritted colorants. They are made and manufactured for several reasons: to provide a consistent and stable form of colorant that doesnt dissolve in the glaze melt as easily as coloring metal oxides; to make colorants safer
