SC-013 Grapel - Purple Grape Ceramic Underglaze & Glaze, Mayco Stroke & Coat®

SC-013 Grapel is a richly pigmented, viscous Stroke & Coat® glaze in a deep purple hue. A single light coat fires to a translucent lavender shade, while two to three coats produce a fully opaque, intense purple finish. This glaze delivers its most vibrant color at Cone 06 oxidation. At higher temperatures like Cone 6, the color may lighten and display some streaking. Grapel glazes to a glossy, smooth surface without needing a clear overglaze. Its thickness and viscosity make it ideal for brushwork, majolica, layering, and sponge techniques. Suitable for application on wet clay and bisque, this product is AP Certified Non-Toxic and Dinnerware Safe. <At higher firing temperatures, SC-003 Wine About It may experience noticeable fading, resulting in a lighter and less saturated finish.>

Stroke & Coat® SC-013 Grapel is a highly pigmented, viscous gloss glaze that can be used for both detailed design and opaque coverage. It is designed to stay in place without blending when layered, making it perfect for intricate artwork. The colors are intermixable, allowing for custom shades. Artists can thin the glaze with water to achieve a watercolor or wash effect. Since the liquid color closely matches the fired result, it’s easy to visualize the final appearance, drastic changes are unlikely. Brush-able, water soluble, and non-toxic.  

Stroke & Coat® works on wet or leatherhard clay and can be fired to cone 04, maintaining vibrant color with time savings. It’s ideal for classrooms, studios, and fine art use. It can be applied to earthenware or terracotta clay and bisque. One coat results in a translucent finish, while 2-3 coats build up to full opacity. Allow drying between coats. Stroke & Coat® naturally fires to a gloss finish, but clear glazes such as NTCLR Clear One Dipping or S-2101 Crystal Clear Brushing Glaze may be added for extra gloss or evenness. It is AP Certified Non-Toxic and dinnerware safe when used properly.
