#pottery #review #glaze
Hello You dirty potters, how are you today?
today we are reviewing our first mayco the glaze, Mayco Flux sw-401. Once upon a time I exclusively used mayco glazes so upon seeing this new bottle I decided to give it a go. I must say I'm impressed on how it comes out on brown clay more so than white clay but I think it would make a good topper glaze either way.
p.s This glaze is technically supposed to be a topper glaze aka a over glaze. but we gatta test the base ;)
Make sure to comment down below to keep the algorithm happy and I will see you dirty Potter's next week!

Dear everyone, yes I know it's meant to be a topper / overglaze, please read description. Also we gatta test the base before part 2 comes out ;)

@ashleytg12 Год назад

Oops! Sorry for my comment! I didn’t mean to come off like I’m assuming you don’t know what you’re doing! I know you’re a pro and know exactly what you’re doing! I’ve learned a lot from you!

@EmberGlowTreasures Год назад

Sorry I didn’t read the description, I should have done that first I will admit. But also you got upset about the fact that mayco makes test tiles that look “nothing like the results” but if you did do flux over cinnabar it would look like the results. So I wanted to explain about the cinnabar. Looking forward to part 2

@cpnotill9264 Год назад

I use the flux under other glazes and love it!

@mattwassenaar456 Год назад

Thanks for clearing that up. I’ve never seen Flux poured straight on a piece before. I use a ton of it as a transition under two glazes that overlap. Cheers 😊

@michelleosborne8951 Год назад

You are right. They tell you that on there website

@kkbrew1854 Год назад

I’m glad you did this alone. It’s amazing but I’ve never used it alone.

@KellyMcginnis-mk3rh Год назад

I was just on the edge of my seat watching this. I thought it was going to run all over. I’m so glad you did this. Loved the experiment 😊

@corryg6403 Год назад

I think it is supposwd to be used under or over other glazes to give them movement

@desertpotter1003 Год назад

Thanks for this demo, most people have been using it on top of other glazes. Nice to see what it looks like on its own.

@EmberGlowTreasures Год назад

Mayco expects you to use flux on top of other glazes, for example their Cinnabar glaze, which is the red glaze they have on the picture. They don’t expect you to use it by itself.

@juliahummel1893 Год назад

you do have a good point when it comes to representation in glaze examples that companies give out- if anything they should at Least upload pictures online of every glaze by themselves on a variety of different clay bodies, instead of just on specific clay bodies Or a combo of glazes, I wouldn't say the companies are misleading their consumers- but they sure aren't helping with the total transparency that im sure all of us would prefer and like. Cant wait to see you do some combos with this glaze ! lord knows we need more examples of them on an easy-to-view basis

@jenrose4258 Год назад

I love your glaze reviews!! Thanks!!

@ashleytg12 Год назад

This glaze is intended to be used on top of other glazes to get more of a flow and to enhance the colors of the base glaze. The red you see in the photo is a base glaze and the white is the flux on top of it. It's basically Mayco's version of Light Flux by Amaco. Next time try it on top of a base glaze! Most people will dip the whole thing in a base glaze and then use flux on the top 1/4 of the mug. Try that!! It's gorgeous!

@justsomeguy3090 Год назад

Yes, sorry Donte your using it wrong. It is not by itself a glaze. It’s for giving flow like look over other stoneware glazes. I use mine over dark glazes and they come out amazing.

@Fernandvinepottery Год назад

Peepee poopoo😂 your channel is my favorite not just because I learn a TON from you but you always give me a giggle along the way. Excited to hear an explanation of how to use flux!

@autopilotceramics Год назад

oh boy, it's a GLAZE REVIEW

@clairepaynter1866 Год назад

Thanks for this. I've used this glaze over other glazes as per the advice by mayco. It's interesting to see what it's like on its own, even though it's not ment to be used on its own.

@danalou7484 Год назад

My old studio used it as accents to help the glazes run together. so paint lines on for like 3 coat then top with however many coats of glaze normally needed. really cool effects after!

@katlady5000 Год назад

I've never used light flux as a base or as the only glaze. It meant to run other glazes so I use it at the rim over other glazes that I want to movement. It was interesting test and video to see light flux used this way. I will try it on my Klamath yellow clay so see what happens. So I looked at the back of my mayco flux bottle and it "Sample tile showcases light flux over SW-119 Cinnabar." "It also says Light flux is an off-white mobility enhancer that is intended to be layered with stoneware glazes." It looks like you have an older bottle then mine so it may not say the same thing on the back of your bottle. But I bet it does same something similar so I've going to give Mayco a pass for the test tile not matching the glaze when used alone since they state on my jar what is used on the test tile. I always enjoy your glaze test videos. I would enjoy a second test with flux used over other glazes. 🙂😊

@AZrestlessnative Год назад

I’ve always used the flux over other glazes! Hadn’t thought about using it alone!

@BendviewFarm-dq4sp Год назад

How did you know what specific gravity to target? Are they published by Mayco or just your experience knew where to target?

@EarthNationCeramics Год назад

i weigh it

@BendviewFarm-dq4sp Год назад

@@EarthNationCeramics I know you weigh the cylinder to check specific gravity. But, I’m sorry for the confusion,but how do you know what proper specific gravity to target? (Like, should it be 1.25 or 1.6?)

@AbbySueM Год назад

Daaannntteeee. If you’re gonna make a part two using the glaze the way it’s supposed to you gotta tell us so we don’t all yell at you in the comments. Some of us watch on tv so we don’t get to see the description 😅

@katekaniff5987 Год назад

I never would’ve covered an entire piece with that… I love your glaze reviews…. this one, at the start, was frightening like the real scary part of a horror movie,where you don’t wanna watch, end up watching🤷🏼‍♀️😂… But it worked out without a glitch ✨👍🏻Now, dip/ pour over anything else, we would’ve seen a shelf stuck to the pot or worse😳. It’s such a cool specialty glaze,that’s how i use/ used it🤔… you’ve perked thought !! This is great! thanks

@gabriellame1815 Год назад

🤩🤩🤩on the red clay body, I didn’t expect that))) I would do tests with different Rio😅😅, and wondering what it will be on a black clay? 🥸I loved the experiment, thank you 🙏🏻

@SetGozo Год назад

I want to try this… ❤

@RoosterPootPottery Год назад

They were showing it on the lip of the piece, over another glaze

@amariahthepotter Год назад

Yes we want a glaze review 😂

@gsandau Год назад

Backing up to the Throw With Me Morning video, so I can throw... uhhh with you. Sounds weird out loud.

@crystaloneil3345 11 месяцев назад

I am going to search for a dark flux review next!

@missmolliepink Год назад

The picture shows a typical result of the glaze when layered over a different glaze. It's fair to call out the company for not putting a picture of JUST the glaze being sold on the jar. But on the other hand, since the glaze is intended not to stand alone but to be layered, I get why they showed it layered with another glaze. It was a weird choice for the company: Show the product as used as intended or show it not used as intended but as it would look alone... misused but exactly what is actually IN the bottle. Too bad there's not more room on the label to ... label that.

@gigi3242 Год назад

Please don't beat Donte senseless Algorithm; he needs his senses. After reading the comments, gonna love seeing your next video, lol

@tiffanyharnish2818 Год назад

Can you test some whites that real over texture? I am on the hunt for a great white and I would love to see some shinos from coyote tested

@____Ann____ Год назад

5:59 what are those gorgeous black spots that work so well on that glaze?

@deniseyoung5385 Год назад

I’m asking this because I really don’t know and I want to understand, not to question whether or not you got the specific gravity correct… you have more practice and education in this than I do, obviously… but since this is a jar commercial glaze typically made to paint on, I would think it would contain some type of gum or something? Would that affect the specific gravity since it makes the glaze thicker and dry slower? I want to know because I have a bunch of glazes that need to reconstituted from sitting in my hot garage for two years and intermittently freezing for a couple days at a time. I can’t bring myself to throw them away.

@motherofsibs9342 Год назад

Comment for the stupid algorithm. I always learn from your videos.

@walkerpottery9296-Natalie Год назад

Holy schmoly Batman! 🦹🏻‍♂️On the red/brown clay that glaze is Incredible!!! What a helpful tidbit of research! Pee pee 💩 💩

@KellyAnn1997 11 месяцев назад

It’s funny…I never once thought the glaze was meant to be used alone and look like the tile. Lol

@loganfurlong2295 Год назад

For the algorithms! Yay algorithms! (PS, if you think Dante did a dumbs, check the description, perhaps he knew it was a dumbs and therefore it is actually a smarts!)

@EarthNationCeramics Год назад

God bless this man the only person that read the description.

@RoosterPootPottery Год назад

I think they mean it to be thick

@kareengrondin Год назад

I think you are mistaken, this "glaze" is to be use over a glaze to make it drippy, and not really on its own. Thus, the drip over red sample on the photo.

@dysonforbes Год назад

Every time I have bought this it is as thick as yogurt, this isnt really a review of the glaze they sell when its thinned that much. Works best under other glazes imo

@AlainaAvalanche Год назад

peepee poopoo

@petearnold8020 Год назад

Donte!!!! when you enter a drive through and look at all the pretty burger photos and you point saying yes that one... you get excited when your handed the brown bag through your car window. your dribbling with excitement like a rabid animal on the serengeti. you park up with nostrils flared and inhale ... THIS WASNT WHAT I ORDERED!!!!!!! ive been duped!!!! bummer

@johnsloan79 Год назад

Theyre clearly not suggesting its red, but to show you the effect it has on A colour so they have to show a colour, they chose red in this case. The assumption being you know how a flux is supposed to be used. Im sure when you test it on red itll have a similar result, if not then you can go on a rant then, but ifs not justified using it the way you used it here.

@EditLivy 7 месяцев назад

Even I know what "Flux" means. Not "red", that's for sure. 😂😂😂

@timothybeebe6382 Год назад

There is nothing disingenuous about the test tile in the photo…if one reads the label. The product isn’t as you have stated in your description intended to be used by itself. The company clearly states how the product is to be used and shares what glaze was used under the product on the label. I find your review of the product to be falsely handled and therefore a poor review of the product as information wasn’t shared in an honest representation to the product. Regardless of your intentions to properly review the product under its correct usage I am highly disappointed with your dishonesty of the product as all labeled information wasn’t honestly disclosed. This is misleading to people new to the usage of the brand you are reviewing and misleading to potters. Especially new potters that need to learn.
