Alisa and Claus Clausen on tue 18 apr 00
------------------
Hi Ron,
I have just set a new set of test tiles in my glaze kiln with the suspect =
cone 6
glaze.
(Marek, where are you, it is your recipe?)
I have some plain as it is and others colored with colbalt and iron and =
copper.
Unfortunately my kiln pooped out at 800c, so hopefully my Claus man live in
electrician
can get it working. As soon as see the results, I will write about them.

Hi Alisa,
I am sure it is not a cone 6 glaze - it has no bron for starters - and noit
enough secondary fluxes - and too much alumina and silica - I compared it
with other cone 6 glazes - it will not melt at cone 6.
The Hamers are British if that helps.
Do share some of your results with me - I learn by working with others - I
do the reforms and they do the firing - a good exchange and I get better at
it.
