Micros do not actually contain a glass crystal like other Mayco \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003estoneware\u003c\/span\u003e crystal glazes, rather, the effect is created by the glaze itself during the firing process. These glazes can be fired from cones 5-10, but the crystallization may not form at higher temperatures. With the exception of Micro Pearl, the micros are not dinnerware safe due to surface durability. Mayco recommends using micros on the outside of dinnerware, below the lip line, or on decorative wares. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e \u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat are Engobes?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Engobes are a hybrid of slip, glaze and underglaze, used to coat your clay body to your preferred finish\/color and are often used for a variety of decorative techniques, such as sgraffito and majolica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e They can be applied to wet clay, greenware or bisque and fire from cones 5-10. Engobes have a similar texture to underglazes and require a clear glaze (matte or gloss) to be considered dinnerware safe. Layering the new micros over the engobes yields fantastic results! One of the highlights that Mayco has discovered for engobes is that they allow studios to change the color of their clay body without cross-contamination or messy cleanup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mayco Coloramics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40566844162111,"sku":"Mayco-SW2024KT","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/tiendaenvasado.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/1931\/4239\/files\/Stoneware_2024_Stoneware_Kit_ac2135fa-e4ef-4a47-8b4e-e5037ef39cea.jpg?v=1711486860","url":"https:\/\/tiendaenvasado.com\/products\/mayco-sw2024kt","provider":"tiendaenvasado","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
