When applying Foundations over a large surface area we recommend a broad, soft brush, such as a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan Brush. Try to get the brush fully saturated (loaded) and apply each coat in the same direction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMake sure the glaze has dried thoroughly prior to firing. A medium ramp\/firing rate is recommended (250°F per hour).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSAGE VARIATIONS AND FAQ’S\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details Preserved\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Foundation Opaques perform well as a base color on which detailed design work can be laid.\u003cbr\u003e They are a little more fluid that Stroke \u0026amp; Coat®, but design integrity will remain after firing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll Over Coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Not only do you get great coverage with just 2-3 coats but the cost-per-ounce makes Foundations one of the best economic choices for large volume, large areas uses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation glazes are non-toxic and food safe - perfect for food surfaces.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can Foundations be applied to greenware or clay? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A: Mayco has tested the Foundations Opaque glazes on clay with successful results. Apply 2-3 coats of Foundations over the entire piece, leaving an area unglazed such as a back or bottom to allow for outgassing. Clay should be totally dry before firing. Fire to shelf cone 04 (1060° C).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can Foundations be fired to higher temperatures (cone 6 and above)? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A: Many Foundations Opaques can be fired to cone 6. Darker colors - green, red, blue, orange, purple - will maintain much of their original color value (they may darken a bit compared to cone 06 results). Lightly pigmented colors - pink, yellow, tan, lighter purples - will fade. Always test to see if this application variance will work on your specific project.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Mayco Coloramics","offers":[{"title":"4oz. - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day","offer_id":40823714840639,"sku":"FN040-4","price":6.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pint - Stock Item, Normally ships in one business day","offer_id":40823714873407,"sku":"FN040p","price":14.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/1931\/4239\/files\/FN40_Pumpkin_276510f6-7e6c-447d-90f1-5fb2d5aa6cea.jpg?v=1715457114","url":"https:\/\/dulcemielevents.com\/products\/mayco-fn040","provider":"dulcemielevents","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
