Lara-Poppyseed Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Hi all! I recently found out that Duncan got bought out by Mayco in November and therefore some of their glazes are getting discontinued and unfortunately one that I use often in my work is one of those. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on another glaze that might work as a replacement? I haven’t had much luck so far in my search and I am not brave enough to mix my own glazes at this point. https://duncanceramics.com/TM5-756-ANTIQUE-ROSE The glaze is a matte pastel pink color (see image). If someone has some pints they are willing to part with I’m open to buying them too. I love the True Matte 5 line from Duncan and hope that they aren’t discontinuing all of them. Thanks!

oldlady Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 lara, you might check local paint your own places if it is a cone 06 glaze. some of the smaller places might have some on a shelf. i came across an entire closeout years ago in the same situation and bought them all. contact mayco/duncan and ask their marketing person if there is any way to find what you want. they may have the same thing with a different name.

Natalie1986 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Amaco satin mattes are nice. You have to mix your own colours though..... you'd need a red and a white to make this sort of pink and the red is very strong so mix probably 5% (or even less) red to 95% white. They need to be applied very thick or apply lots of coats! I do 4 or 5 coats which is a pain but the finish is gorgeous. I've tried the Duncan true mattes and thought they were quite poor glazes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakes Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Oh no! I love the Duncan true matte line too, especially their whites. I've yet to find another brand that has the variety of whites and creams that they do. But I was reading the label on the pint of Amaco clear satin and it says that all the colors, except a couple of reds, are mixable. So, as Natalie suggests, perhaps you could mix a similar color?

Kathryn_bb Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hi, I have a pint of the dusty rose that I’m not using as well as a bunch of other colors if anyone would like to buy them. For some reason they did not fire well for me when I tested them out. Maybe it was the studio I used to fire them. I was using their true matte weathered porcelain which worked out well though and I use it a lot but now I can’t find it anywhere! Does anyone recommend a matte white glaze I can use instead? Super bummed to hear they discontinued this color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
