Oh the horrors of a misplaced decimal point! It can make or break a
bank account or a glaze!
In the raspberry blue colorants, that should read 0.5 RIO
his is cone 6 oxidation.
Base glaze:
Amount Ingredient
18 Nepheline Syenite
14 Frit--Ferro 3134
20 Whiting
18 Ball Clay--Old Mine #4
30 Silica
100 Total
The colorant additions below are as follows
Jeanies Purple
ADD
0.2 Chrome oxide
3.8 Tin Ox.
0.6 Cobalt Carb.
Raspberry Blue
ADD
1.0 Cobalt Carb.
0.5 RIO
MC6G Raspberry (MC6 =3D Mastering Cone 6 glaze -- the other two glazes are
spin-offs from this original recipe)
ADD
0.2 Chrome oxide
7.5 Tin
AND I "discovered" a fourth glaze, through my ignorance and
misapplication her instructions: GRAPE GLOSS
Grape Gloss
ADD
0.2 Chrome oxide
7.5 Tin
1.0 Cobalt Oxide (yep. I accidently added Cobalt Oxide instead of
Cobalt Carbonate)
0.5 RIO
Here is a photo of it. Its a decidedly grape glaze
(scroll down to the very purple teabowl. yeah. THAT one)
