I have been conversing with someone about a glaze problem/ with the fit of
glass to glaze.

decorative glasses we use, as well as our base glasses have expansion rates

The Question asked and proposed was - 'What is the expansion rate of my
glaze'. I fire to cone 9 range but I have no clue what the expansion rate
of any of my glazes might be? This may very well be a question that is far
over my head and too scientific so I may have to duck out of this one!
yikes. ha My most intelligent reply back might be a simple 'I don't know'
or I don't have a clue.

Llewellyn,
It is really very simple to calculate the Coefficient of Expansion for
your glaze or any glaze.
If you would care to go to my web site and click on 'Calculating
Crazing' you will see how this can be done.

Dear Llewellyn,
If it is a glossy glaze I can calculate the expansion - most glaze calc
programs have that ability. I need the recipe to do that. I can then tell
you if it high - low or whatever.
All that is dependant on the expansion/contraction of the clay body - it is
the two together that must be taken into consideration.
If you have Mastering Cone 6 Glazes there is a chapter on fit - you will
understand it all - you may have to read it a few times but it is all there
- plus a set of glazes that will help you find the expansion of your clays.
