I am slowly going through the archives looking for anything on
^06 clear and am coming across lots of interesting stuff. Recently
somebody was asking about a clear in this temp range so I am
reposting this

Here is a mix I tested for raku but it should serve as a C012-010 base
clear:
35 Borax decahydrate (washing machine borax)
34 Ferro frit 3278 (or Pemco P830, Hommel K3)
23 Gerstley borate
8 Kaolin (EPK, Grolleg, or other low-iron)
Since this contains a water-soluble compound (Borax), it is best used
fresh-mixed otherwise it will become non-uniform on standing (borax
recrystallizes as big crystals). This is a body-reactive mix and may not
work on all low-fire bodies.
Good tests. Til later.
