I just found a cone 06-40 glaze recipe that call for 60% ferro frit G-24.
I have looked though all of the tables that I have about frits and
substituting pemco's for ferro's and have not been able to locate ferro
G-24. What other frit would be an acceptable substitute for this in either
a pemco or ferro?

MATERIAL: FRIT G-24 - LEADED FRIT SUPPLIER: Ferro

ANALYSIS & UNITY FORMULA
========================
CaO....... 4.65% [ 0.31]
K2O....... 1.70% [ 0.07]
Na2O...... 1.69% [ 0.10]
PbO....... 31.64% [ 0.53]
B2O3...... 13.02% 0.69
Al2O3..... 3.17% 0.12
SiO2...... 44.13% 2.72

No substitute info. We've got 20 bags but they are classified
as hazardous waste. I'd forget about this stuff, use a
boron frit instead.

Lars - I have no info on this frit either. If all else fails, phone the
company - maybe someone here can provide phone # or try askingCeramics Monthly or your local ceramic supplier.

I did this once only to find the frit really was no longer made but
they would be happy to oblige us & make it for a minimum order
of a bazillion pounds!

Good luck Karen Gringhuis

I came across something in a recipe today that called for a frit--G23 and in
parenthisis it said Amaco. Check with them and see if they make what you're
looking for.
