Ron: As far as I knew, silicon carbide is used to create local reduction.
It therefore is used in some glazes meant for electric kilns. So when you
say the glaze being talked about is not for reduction, did you mean it must
not go into a fuel-burning reduction kiln? Or do you have a bone to pick
with local reduction?

Hi Lili,
The fact that the silicon carbide is in the recipe was part of the reason I
thought it was a cone 6 oxidation glaze - then - when I calculated it the
molecular formula confirmed that.
I don't see the reason for including silicon carbide in a glaze that is
meant to be fired in reduction - are there any such?
No bone to pick with local reduction - I have never done it however.

Hi Jean,
I understand - because the reduction was too light the silicon carbide was
added to get more reduction. Good idea. It was mentioned that the SC be
very fine and not to use too much or there will be problems.
Thanks - RR

hi ron,
i think that im going to experience some time with silicon carbide in a
special way
sil carb gives more reduction, so there are a few places in my kiln (others
also i think) where you have
less reduction, so i will try to put on these places glaze with a amount of
sil carb
i dont now if this is a good idea greatings jean

Hi Jean,
It says on that web site - use the finest grind you can find - and don't
use too much - it can lead to blistering.
