Mayco AC310-4 Silk Screen Medium 4oz

GENERAL USE

For creating silkscreen design on clay or bisque: Mix four parts Underglaze or Stroke & Coat®   (1″ wide dollop of glaze) to one part Silkscreen Medium (pinch). Using a palette knife, thoroughly mix glaze and silkscreen medium on a flat surface until the mixture is smooth and contains no lumps. Add small amounts of medium until mixture resembles a thick paste, similar to the consistency of peanut butter. Push material through designer silkscreen with a squeegee or finger. Can be used with low fire and mid-range glazes.


Color: the base firing properties of the glaze used to create the ceramic paste remain unchanged: cone 06, cone 6 glazes perform just as they would in a non-paste state.  For the deepest color we recommend using Stroke & Coat®, Designer Liner or Mayco Underglaze – products that contain high pigment content. Darker colors will produce deeper color in the fired result. Use of other color lines and/or light pigment colors (pinks, tans, light yellow, etc.) may yield less prominent results.


Viscosity: if a paste is too thin your design may bleed.  As a general rule: the more detailed the screen design the thicker the paste.  For patterns, such as Chevrons and Stripes, you may find a thinner pastes works best.

Prepare the Color Paste: Dispense a 1” wide dollop of glaze onto a plate or palette. Sprinkle a pinch of AC-310 Silk Screen Medium over the glaze and allow to sit for 10-15 seconds. Mix together using a palette knife until the mixture is smooth and contains no lumps. If mixture is still too thin, sparingly add a bit more Silk Screen Medium to thicken; if mixture is too thick add a small amount of glaze. Remix and adjust as needed. The final consistency should be similar to a smooth peanut butter.

CERAMIC PASTE

To transfer the designs, combine AC-310 Silkscreen Medium and any color of Underglazes, Stroke & Coat®, Designer Liner or acrylic paints to create a paste which is pushed through the screen onto bisque or unfired glaze surface. The design transfers onto ceramic, glass, wood or fabric surfaces with ease. Designer Silkscreens work on ridged or curved surfaces and may also be used as an outline to fill in images with color.
