dearest clayarters,
i am looking for some nice food-safe glazes with soul for firing at cone
06--tired of commercial glazes--am still having to fire my work at a local
shop that will only fire greenware to cone 04--sometimes i wonder if they even
get it that high :-^ also, in case it matters--i have not had the pleasure
of mixing my own glazes--will have to buy necessary chemicals.
Thank you in advance for any help!

because it was the 1st successful one!!!

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.

Hi:
I just wanted to know if anyone has a reliable C05-04 glaze that is a true
orange?
Thanks for all of the great information so far.

Hi there,
Don't know if you use commercial glazes, but if so Duncan's Tiger Lily is
pretty beautiful.
