Mayco Astro Gems are an underglaze-like textural glaze that contains tiny crystals. When fired these crystals provide jewel-like spots on the matte surface of the glaze. Astro Gems can be applied to both greenware and bisque. Astro Gems are non-toxic.
Directions
Stir and shake for 5-6 seconds before use – you’ll want to make sure the crystals are evenly dispersed in the glaze before applying. Apply 3 smooth, even coats to properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque using a soft brush, such as a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan Brush. Try to get the brush fully saturated (loaded) and apply alternate coats in a perpendicular direction to the previous coat (helps to evenly distribute the crystals on your surface). Fire to shelf cone 06.
