Good morning, all.=20
I seem to have misplaced my notebook with all my testing information in =
it, and realized that I've loaned out the book that contains a recipe =
I've been trying. Since I can't contact the person I loaned it to, I'm =
hoping someone can help me by taking a look at their copy, taking pity =
on me and posting it for me. (Beg/Wheedle/Grovel Mode - on)
What I'm looking for is one of the low-fire, false reduction reds in =
James Chappell's book, "Potter's Complete Book of Clay & Glazes" - =
updated edition. I can "see" the recipe - I can tell you where it's =
located in that section. I can't, however, for the life of me begin to =
remember the details. (And unless I can find that blasted notebook, I'm =
gonna have to start from scratch on several others, too. :o( I know =
there's a small percentage of silicon carbide and that the recipe is on =
the first left hand page of the section, and, I believe it's the second =
one from the top. =20
We're running test glazes on Tuesday, and the boss says he wants to try =
this one again for one of the students, so, I need to get this made up =
tomorrow.
Any and all help would be appreciated - thank you. =20

Lori,
In searching for a recipe of Conrad's it helps to know what cone the recipe
is for. Here is one :
G169 reduction red, cone 2
Soda spar 33.0
Borax 29.00
Flint 17.00
Kaolin 12.00
Fluospar 6.0
Tin oxide 2.0
Carborundum .5
Cu carb .5
Hope this is the one you wanted. Mia in ABQ

Lori has lost an important item.
We all do this from time to time.
Why not use a pendulum to simple ask where it is?
You will find the results often astounding.
Just ask, in a relaxed state of mind, with the pendulum hanging from thumb
and forefinger, questions that can be answered by a simple yes or no.
To test which movement is yes and which is no, just say, show me the
movement for yes, while holding the pendulum over the right knee.
Then do the same for no over the left knee.
You will also have a movement for idiot/stupid question/you don't need me to
find that!! etc.
It can also be used for contents of glazes that you cannot find out in any
other way.
The problem must always be of real importance to you, something you should
know something about and which you cannot find the answer in the more
"normal" ways.

I'd just like to take a moment to offer a heartfelt thanks to all who
responded to this. I was able to get the glaze made up, but, won't be
firing for a few days yet. You see, our campus is in a bit of a turmoil as
our president (supporter, mentor, and very good friend to all of us) was
killed in a collision yesterday morning.
Dr. Ruth Mercedes Smith (originally of Beloit, WI and president of
Highland Community College in Freeport, IL since 1991) was a very special
woman and we all will miss her a great deal.
I'll post the results of all our experimenting once we get the tests
fired.
Again, thank you.
Lori
