JUST ARRIVED: MAYCO AND POTTERS CHOICE FLUX GLAZES

POTTERS CHOICE FLUX

All the things you love about PC-17 Honey Flux – its soft flowing look, how it interacts with other glazes, and how it accentuates texture on light and dark clays – now in six more colors. Food safe, lovely, fluid, and can be used alone or in conjunction with other Amaco glazes for endless creative options. Each Potters Choice Flux glaze has it’s own character and beauty.

MAYCO LIGHT AND DARK FLUX

Light Flux and Dark Flux are flowing glazes intended for use with other stoneware glazes to enhance movement, promote reactions and add interesting effects. Apply 2-3 coats under or over another mid-range glaze to bring about “hidden colors”.

Light Flux is a cream color with a slight translucency. Dark Flux is a semi-transparent brown. They are relatively stable when used alone, but can have some mobility if applied thick enough. Both Flux colors will influence the layered glazes in different ways to bring out unique colors.

PRODUCT UPDATES

we are out of gerstley borate

Gerstley Borate and EPK are currently unavailable from our supplier. We have a limited supply on hand. Per customer purchase quantities are limited in order to stretch our inventory of these items. 

  • Gillespie Borate can be substituted one-to-one for Gerstley Borate. 
  • Some online comments suggest that using Gillespie 1:1 in substituting for Gerstley causes a more fluid glaze. Recommendations are to reduce the amount of Gillespie by 3% compared to Gerstley. As always, testing prior to commiting to your final works is recommended.

UPDATE 10/4/23:  

  • We are out of Gerstley Borate and do not know when it will be available.
  • Our stock of Gillespie Borate is low. We are limiting orders of Gillespie to 5 lbs. per customer.
