I was checking the archives for the cone 6 satin matt glazes that were posted
on ClayArt early in June...........found them, however discovered the amounts
of the Frit 3124 and tin oxide were missing.......they should total 25%, but
if someone knows them would you post them on the list? Thanks, Em

Here you are, Emily, right out of Val Cushing's
Handbook : Tin Oxide ........5.0
Frit 3124.........25.0

Doesn't total 25% because after the 100% total, the Tin is added.

Under Comments: "Tin causes colors to break rusty where thin. 2% copper
gives bluegreen glaze Type: CaNaB Firing type Ox or Red"
Color: Semi-Opaque Surface: Semi-satin

In case somebody is new to this thread, guess I should give whole
recipe.

25.00%...............Nepheline Syenite
18.00 ...............Gerstley Borate
02.00 ...............Whiting
10.00................EPK
15.00................Flint
05.00................Zinc Oxide
25.00................Frit 3124

100%................. TOTALS

Also Add......Tin Oxide.......05.00%
