In Zakin's latest edition of Electric Kiln Ceramics, his recipes use such
terms as "boron frit" or "soda frit".
And I can't remember which Ferro frit has what for main flux.
I am quite sure that frit analysis by Bill Hunt appeared in the May, '78
Ceramics Monthly, and a while back, I was even able to provide that
information for somebody. But now it is MISSING from the 78 pile and I
cannot check it out. Do I have the right issue? Would somebody be kind
enough to tell me which frits are boron frits, which soda. I have a supply
of all the usual ones plus Ferro 3249 and 3269. I need the info soon or I
would drag myself down to the main public library and look through Conrad or
Chappell where I think there is a minimal analysis of frits.
By the way, I happen to own the first edition of Zakin's Elec. Kiln
Ceramics, and what a bunch of toxic glazes we all used to use!!

In Appendix A of the 1994 edition of "Electric Kiln Ceramics...,"
in the section titiled "Trade Names for Generic Materials in My Recipes"
(p. 267-9), Zakin suggests Ferro #3124 for a boron frit and Ferro #3110
for a soda frit.
