glossy cone 6 blacks

Chris Schafale on fri 26 feb 99

For those who wanted a foodsafe, glossy, cone 6 ox. black, here are a
couple more to try. These are recipes developed by Ron Roy, and
currently being tested for durability, etc. I have tested them
personally, and found both to be very glossy, very black, and not
crazing on several stoneware bodies. Two more versions are also in
the works. Stay tuned.

When I used the 3124 instead of 3134 the glaze got bubbly on Standard body
239 (white raku/handbuilding) but was fine on some leftover Texas White
(Laguna??Aardvark?). The 3134 has a beautiful finish on both at ^6 about
3:00 in oxidation electric. The number 2 recipe breaks brown and I still get
a brown side of black regardless of thickness of applied glaze with number
1. I'm gonna try pushing the cobalt up on it. I am using this stuff on
sculpture, so food safe is not a big factor for me. My best test for black
glossy on 239 is:

RR Black #3(sort of)
Custer Spar(!!) 22, whiting 4, talc 5, 3134frit 26, epk 17, flint 26, add
bentonite 2, RIO 9 and cobalt carb 1.2 mixed thin cream consistency and 2
dips. Brushes okay with 2 coats. fired ox to cone 6 at 3:00 over 7 hours.
Breaks brown if thin.

Hi Marie,

I have recalculated the black glaze with Frit 3124 but - as you can see it
does not make much sense - first of all you have to use a lot more 3124
because there is not as much boron in it compared to 3134. The other
problem - because there is some alumina in 3124 you can't have as much raw
clay in the recipe and this will probably lead to the glaze settling in the
bucket much faster. I think you should get the 3134 - it is my Frit of
choice for cone 6 glazes - usually.

Because of all the Frit this glaze will melt more - so test it first it may
need to be adjusted.

Here are the other two versions I mentioned. I tested them, but
didn't see any improvement over the first two, so I've been using #1.
Others may want to test for themselves. The reason for the use of
OM4 was that I was/am having trouble with crawling in glazes that use
a lot of EPK.
