Mayco - SG4011 Designer Liner, Black, 1.25 Ounces - 1464323

I’m pretty new to pottery and wanted to try adding more detailed designs to my pieces. The Mayco Designer Liner was super easy to use, even as a beginner. I’ve used it on both greenware and bisque, and the black color fires true—even at cone 10, which I wasn’t sure it would. It comes out nice and bold with no weird fading.The bottle gives you good control, and the lines come out clean once you get the hang of it. It’s perfect for outlining, writing, or adding little accents without needing fancy tools.The only small issue is that the tip clogs pretty easily. Just make sure to clean it after each use and keep the little pin handy to unclog it. Once I started doing that, it wasn’t a big deal.Overall, I’d totally recommend this to anyone starting out or looking to try detailed work without diving into more complicated techniques. It’s fun to use and works really well.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:only used once but worked well, went on smooth and fired well in the kiln

I am very satisfied with the Mayco SG4011 Designer Liner in Black! As a beginner ceramic artist, finding a reliable product for fine detailing has been a journey, and this liner exceeded my expectations. The consistency of the liner is perfect—not too thick or thin—allowing for precise application and intricate designs on my pottery, and is great value for the money. I appreciate how easy it is to control the flow of the liner, whether I'm outlining intricate patterns or adding small accents, its performance has been great. Before firing, you should be careful because the application will be vulnerable to chipping or scraping off easily. After firing, the black color remains vibrant and glossy, enhancing the overall aesthetics of my pieces. This has become my go-to choice for adding detailed and professional-looking designs to my ceramics. I highly recommend.

This goes on in a nice thin line and doesn't bleed when firing. The only problem so far is that the nozzle gets clogged even though I use the pin while storing it. You cannot even really see the opening if you take off the cap because it is so small. I like the product but wish it was more reliable to do lines without stopping to unclog.

The liner works perfectly on your ceramic creations, either on greenware or bisque.

I was disappointed with this product, due to pin hole that clogs

We love using this with our classes to teach surface decoration. It's a must for our pottery/ceramics program!
