have
lids....uff da what a smell...
the formula is as follows:
Kona F-4 Spar......45 gm
Whiting................ 7 gm
Bone Ash............ 11 gm
Flint.................... 24 gm
Grolleg (we use
EPK)................ 7 gm
Magnesium
Carbonate....... 6 gm
Red Iron Oxide.... 8 gm
Bentonite........... 2 gm
Anyone got any ideas on what is causing the smell??

It's the bone ash. I have the same problem. You can put a little chlorox in
the batch or live with the smell. :-(
Warm regards,

Hi to All,
I'd guess it was the Magnesium Carb that was smelling, tho' the bone ash is a
suspect also.

Interesting!!
The production studio I am affiliated with has a glaze that smells like
dead tuna fish!!
Fortunately, the smell disappears when the glaze is fired.

>Dear Susan,
Bone ash is causing the smell, I have an experience using bone china slip
from Wedgewood UK during my MA 1997...similar problem ( rotten smell),
according to my lecturer is caused by bone ash.
