Change in Classification 3/01/22: Since their introduction, Duncan has always called their Concepts brand an underglaze, which technically it is not due to being frit-based as opposed to clay-based. To our knowledge, Duncan promoted this brand – at least initially- with instructions to apply a clear glaze. However, with the acquisition of Duncan and distribution through Mayco distributors, new consumers are being introduced to this product, thinking it is an underglaze. This causes confusion and sometimes poor or unexpected results, such as having a gloss finish and adhering to kiln shelves. To clarify and educate new consumers, we recently updated the Concept label and our website, removing any reference to the term “underglaze” and begin positioning it as a glaze. The label change will be rolling. Concepts are similar to Mayco’s Stroke & Coat glazes, which do not require a clear, unless 3 flowing coats were not applied.
1-coat coverage is translucent; 2-coat coverage is semi-translucent or semi-opaque; 3-coat coverage is generally opaque. Can be used for overall coverage. Duncan Concepts are a GLAZE and will fire glossy.
Apply glazes to shelf cone 04 bisque. Fire to shelf cone 06. For best results, allow to dry completely before glazing. Stilt and fire to shelf cone 06. Water cleanup.
Duncan Concepts® glazes are Non-Toxic and dinnerware safe when used according to manufacturer’s directions.
