Try this speatmint colored glaze. Never have any problems even if you
underfire or overfire a cone or two. Great faultless green almost
opalescent
glaze. I usually brush or pour three medium thick coats. Breaks brown
where thin on edges. Great green glaze.

That is a lot of Gerstley Borate, unfired that would have to be pretty =
soft
along with 4 percent copper make sure and have it tested. (As with any =
glaze
used for food) You might have John and or Ron reformulate it with less
boron.=20

It must "hard pan" if you don't mix and use it often? Do you add any
bentonite to get it to stay suspended?

Chuck this is Chappells Floating Blue base glaze with I have used for 30
years. Have had pieces in dishwasher hundreds of times with no problem
fading or washing out. It is the best brushable glaze I have ever used and
never hardpans.

Hi Randy,

A base glaze that is durable with cobalt may or may not be durable
with copper. Copper is MUCH more difficult to keep in a glaze. It may
well be durable but I would sure test it first. The caution Chuck
gave on durability was an appropriate one.

Regards,

John

Hi Randy,

Have you had this tested for copper release?

Just curious - it has a lot of alumina and silica and if it's well melted
it could be a stable glaze?

Do you want to see if it can be made with a frit?

I'm going to mix some up right now, sounds great. You can understand why I
would think it might hard pan with so NY SY in it. I'll give it a shot!

Ron

It would be good to have it with a frit, but I really like the brushability
I get with the GB. Will use the GB as long I as can get it and it still
works.

Chuck this base does not require slow firing, but it will work in a slow
fire down just fine.

Just make sure you put on at least three good coats, I have not tried the
glaze thin.
