Hi all
I'm brand new to the web & am so glad I joined. I'm trying to develop a
nice glossy glaze that requires a temp of 1670 degrees F or less. I've
tried 3 Raku glazes (as a large # tend to be low fire)however they didn't
work well. They are called Fatty White Crackle (white matt), Roger's White
(beige matt), & Takahana (white matt), all from Dewitt Gimblet's extensive
collection (thank you for the start Dewitt). Has anyone come across a cone
010, glossy glaze. Am I looking for the imppossible?

Hello to All ,
Debbie Kaplan ,
not impossible , just needs imaginative thinking -
try - Richard Berens' Books -
[ 1 ] Glaze Projects [ from 018 and upwards ]
[ 2 ] Ceramic Glaze Making [ 018 and upwards ]
Available from the Potter's Shop - Steve Branfman [ on the list ]
or other ,
This is a sampler from his book G.P -
015 and upwards [ easily usable at 010 ]
Hommel Frit 14 [ Ferro Frit 3134 ] - 34.4 %
Pemco Frit 25 [ Ferro Frit 3269 ] - 56.6
Kaolin [ E.P.K for suspension or any other ] - 9.0
If you use it , please have it tested if it is for wares meant for
food or drink . [ there is a touch of Fluorine in the 3269 ]
Please send the results to John Hesselberth to increase his
Glaze Stability result range .
If that does not work , try an Acid Resistant Clear Enamel
available from Thompsons Enamels [ do an on-line search ].
Raw glazes would need the Gerstley Borate [ now extinct ] ,
I use a man - made G.B and can only advise you that the
results can be sometime-ish with raw products.
With food or drink always test your glazes .
Hope this helps .
Khaimraj

Hi Khaimraj,
Great idea & doesn't Steve has his annual book sale going on right now??
I'll give him a call. I have both ferro frits & will try the glaze, which
you suggested. I have quite a bit of gerstley left in my studio so right
now it is not a problem. Currently I'm developing the glaze for non
functional pieces however where can I send a glaze to be analyzed?
Thanks for your help
Debbie

Amaco makes what they call low fire crackle white and low fire
clear...advertised for around 010--I've never had them crackle, but they are
just great, bought dry in one pound packages....I add copper carb and
colorants and they have worked great for years for me for raku when I need
glossy and a wide firing range-they do fine at 06 or so too, so temp is not
so critical...I recommend them..they make a hard mass in the container you
mix them in, so I just let it dry out in between and add more
water....Melinda

Hi Debbie,
You can find complete instructions on having glazes tested for leaching
on my web site at
http://www.frogpondpottery.com/glazetest.html
It is not very expensive. $18-20 for one metal. $30-31 for two. I am
always happy to get involved on advising what to test for.
I also have quite a bit on information on glaze stability on the site
including results for glazes that have been tested. You can access that
from my home page.
