Dear Clay People,
I have an as yet unsolved problem that am seeking an answer to. I
have many clear cone 6 glaze recipes, and have shelves full of test tiles.
But I have a persistant problem and I don't know what to do about it. I
want a very clear, very shiney, cone 6 glaze to put over underglazes. Of
all the glaze recipes I have, they all tend to be either cloudy, craze, or
are satin to matt. What am I doing wrong ? It is the "cloudy" problem
that bothers me the most, and seems to persist in an otherwise mundane
clear glaze recipe. Are there certain ingredients that I may be using
that causes this cloudiness, or could it be the thickness? Any suggestions
would be welcome. TIA
Toni in New Mexico

Toni -
I am not enough of a glaze chemist to be able to explain that "clouding"
problem at 5:30 in the morning, but I do know that the following glaze
works very well for me at Cone 6.
Patti's Crystal Clear ^5-7
Gerstley Borate 10.5
Whiting 4.0
Neph Sy 15.0
Kaolin 5.0
Flint 15.5
I got the glaze from CLAYART some time ago. It was posted by Janice
Lipuma from Lexington KY.

>Toni in New Mexico,
most times that I have "cloudy" problems with a clear glaze I've
put it on too thickly. It is surprising how thin the clear glazes can be
and still turn out. Good Luck.
Best wishes, Marjorie
