Some nice person--lost track of the original post--wanted help moving a c.10
glaze down
to c. 6.
Sheffield Slip 36.0
Custer Feldspar 22.0
Gerstley Borate 3.0
Wollastonite 14.0
Flint 14.0
Kaolin (EPK) 3.0
Whiting 8.00
Add: Cobalt Carbonate 2.0 and Milled Rutile 1.0
I had to look up Sheffield slip on the Internet, and found only the info
that it is more refractory than Albany Slip. Still I used Albany as given by
Digital Fire for this calculation.

So, one thing to try is to replace some of the Sheffield with RedArt.
Then, because the clothing dryer takes forever, I figured out the following.

0 Nepheline Syenite
12 Frit--Ferro 3134
10 Frit--Ferro 3110

What I did was to take out the Custer and the GB and used two
frits. I cannot figure out why so often, so many, hesitate to use more than
one frit in a recipe. Anyway. I raised the B2O3 which should help with the
melt,and lowered the alumina and silica. The iron is a bit higher now, not
sure that that will matter.
Be advised that I do not fire in reduction so the iron MAY matter. Try the
glaze, and please tell us if it works. It would be so nice if people
reported back, because then others can learn.
