Hi Clay people...
I am testing some liner glazes for 04/ 06 range...I will fire 04 oxidation=
.
If you have a favorite to share please send it on.
I plan to share results on a web page soon .
Thanks Clayart!

John ,=3D20
Do you need a liner for decorative purposes or utilitarian purposes and =
=3D
if
so, if that also means for dinnerware purposes?

the toughest problem for this range is crazing .=3D20
the clay bodies are often very open and/or not mature in this range, so m=
=3D
uch
has to do with your claybody and glaze fit...=3D20

Might help clarify for those who have a suggestion

Check out these, some were not designed as liner glazes,
http://04glazes.blogspot.com/

I would use those based on this glaze base :

Kona F-4,12
Ferro frit #3134,46
Dolomite,5
Zinc oxide,7
Kaolin,10
Kaolin calcined,11
Silica,7

Not enough kaolin in this one to be a stable glaze - that means it
will change colour in use and eventually lose it's gloss.

The silica should be over 250 moles - this one only has 1.93.

This should not be difficult to do but you would need more frit.

If you want to try making your own I can get you started.

Hi Ron
On the low fire cone 04 liner glaze
I found this one of yours in the archives.
3195 55
3278 38
om 4 10
bent 2
I dont have any 3278 so could I sub 3289 or 3269?
Thanks JOhn Goode

Thanks for sharing, Edouard! I may try one of these for my low-fired
work. Borosilicate glazes generally have great chemical durability. I
hope no one is discouraged from trying any glaze with a good history.
As we know, even PhD-ed corrosion engineers (for glass, glaze, and
ceramics) wouldn=3D92t dream of making durability predictions based on
glaze composition alone. In their high-science world they=3D92ll fully
admit right off the bat that even with all their knowledge, tools,
tricks-of-the-trade, models, and test equipment prediction may be off
by a factor of five or a thousand. They are humble enough to keep on
saying =3D93test, test, test=3D94 (the finished product under actual intend=
ed
conditions).

Clayart has need of all of us =3D96 keep on posting (please!)

Luv ya,

Hi John,

I have to find the analysis for 3289 - I'll try to get it done before
tonight but if I can't it will have to be later in the week as I'm out
of town for the next 2 days.

If you have the analysis for 3289 send it along.

I don't want to use 3269 as it has some flourine.

Hi again John,

Found the 3289 in my data base - it's loaded with barium so I would
prefer not to use it in a liner glaze.

I don't have a lot of experience with low fire glazes so I'm learning
along with you here.

I have cone up with two that might work - you'll have to test them
though. A full cone 04 would be best. Mix 500 grams of each (#1 and
#3) and dip some tests - then mix equal amounts of each to get #3.
They should all be stable glazes if melted enough - the question
remains - which will not craze? Let us know what happens.

cone 04? liner#1. Test before using - RR
