Good afternoon , to All ,
To : Mr John Post ,
Gerstly Borate is one of the easiest compounds to frit and would
only require a test kiln and ball mill .
All you need is an oxide breakdown , and combine .
No need to regret the loss of the old stuff , just make it artificially
for yourself .

When I recalculate the glaze using frit 3134 as a substitute the fired
quality of the glaze changes. It leaves me wishing for a supplier who
would actually make a frit from the Gerstley itself instead of using Borax
as the source of B2O3 in the frit. I want a frit that has all of GB's
trace elements in it. These trace elements in the Gerstley seem to give it
some of its unique visual qualities when fired.----------------------

a nice fritted version of the stuff...
