    AS-512 Black Diamond (4 oz.) Astro Gem Glaze by Mayco  

    Astro Gems are an underglaze-based 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 green-ware and bisque
    Cone 06: Black Diamond is a black matte underglaze base with small black crystals that fire glossy.

    Crystal Specks Add Layers of Texture  

    Astro Gem® is non-moving textural glaze that contains two sizes of tiny crystals. When fired these crystals provide a quartz-like gleam projecting from the matte surface of the base glaze. The base glaze is an under glaze and will remain porous after firing.

    Astro Gems™ are certified AP non-toxic. As surfaces may be difficult to properly clean if in contact with food, we recommend Astro Gems™ be used on decorative ware.

    Application Recommendations

    • 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 perpendictular direction to the previous coat (helps to evenly distribute the crystals on your surface).
    • Fire to shelf cone 06.

    Q: How can I create custom colors?

    A: AS-510 White Opal Astro Gem can be tinted using Mayco One Strokes or Mayco Underglazes. You may find success mixing stains - always conduct small tests before using on a wider scale.
