Hi John,
Just to let you know - when I hit reply to this it was routed to you - not
ClayArt - so you will not be getting any replies because I may be the only
one who knows to put BYRD in the subject line.
I don't know the answer to your question but slow cooling is going to have
a profound effect on all of them.
They all have about the right expansion with the iron included but are low
without it. The TouchStone only has 0.18 alumina so it will not be stable
with alkalies. I have no idea if the others will be stable with all that
iron either.
Ask Tony for the G2826 recipe.

Let me know which is best if you test em please - RR

The feldspar in this recipe-is it potash or soda? Kathryn
