Thanks Andie. Good testing and loved the commentary.
I have a suggestion to make. On Sept 2, 2000, Ron Roy posted a message
titled CADYDAL in which he shows how he substituted other materials for G/B.
(I don't have the skills to pull it out of the archives to repeat it here.
Just go to www.ceramics.org/clayart, hit Clayart and then input the subject,
date and ronroy in the email address line.) You might find this useful
for revising your old G/B favourites. I used INSIGHT for the following.
I used the above information to revise PERSIMMON. I have not tested this
yet as I am waiting for a shipment of some of the chemicals. So here I go
dancing out on to a limb...
Persimon Revision
EPK 22
Silica 17
Cadycal 18
Frit 3134 19
Frit 3124 18
Talc 6
Red Iron Oxide 11
(You could tweak it slightly by using Talc 5 and Soda Ash 1 but I bet it
would be more trouble than it is worth.)
I also came up with another revision using a mixture of ball clay and EPK,
instead of all EPK:
Persimmon Revision 2
EPK 12
Silica 14
OM #4 Ball clay 13
Cadycal 18
Frit 3134 19
Frit 3124 18
Talc 6
Red Iron Oxide 11
I won't know how this works either, until the boat arrives. Is that a
craaaacking noise I hear?
Regards, Carol
