Mayco Midrange Guide
Mid-Range Firing Guide
Many Mayco glazes can be used at higher temperatures successfully. We have provided each color’s performance under the following testing conditions: application of 3 coats of glaze on a stoneware buff body, fired to cone 6 (1222°C / 2232°F). We recommend testing under your conditions before using in your work.
