Marvin,
Mason 6020 pink is very refractory, and if you get a chart in a supply
catalog, it's usually listed as a body stain only (good to color clay and
slip, rather refractory for a glaze stain). 6020 does go to cone 10 and stay
pink. You can make pink shino by adding 8% to a shino, which will be the
usual orange shino thin, but pink to salmon thick in reduction. In oxidation
it's a really blatant donut icing pink... kind of obnoxious. This stain is
too refractory to work well on top of glaze in most conditions. Other Mason
pinks are less refractory, but most won't go to hi-fire.
About opacifier, tin, titanium, or zirconium will opacify. Whiting is
calcium carbonate and will act as flux in moderate amounts. Tin over 5% in
the presence of small amounts of chrome will cause chrome-tin pinks.
Titanium may cause a crystalline surface. Zirconium is less strong than tin,
and gives a more translucent opacity.

Any chance of sharing the Mason pinks that will go high-fire?
Thanks

Hi All,
I agree heartily with Linda about Mason 6020 as to it's refractoriness,
the alumina just doesn't want to do the flux thing. but I happen to like
that color pink alot. I used to use it all the time as a wash on top of
a glaze at cone 10 and would only run into trouble when the wash wasn't
thin enough.
