specking.
Let me disagree with you!
-
>Strontium and Whiting are completely different chemically specking.
This glaze I use as clear part of my decorative combination
It used to be
SILICA 26.00
ENGLISH KAOLIN CC31 5.00
ZINC OXIDE 10.00
FELDSPAR SODA F7/SE 35.00
Calcium Carbonate 13.00
Barium 9.00
Bentonite 2.00
I made a high cost version
SILICA 26.00
ENGLISH KAOLIN CC31 5.00
ZINC OXIDE 10.00
FELDSPAR SODA F7/SE 35.00
Calcium Carbonate 13.00
strontium 7.00
Bentonite 2.00
And a lower cost for my students

If you see Kat, they are side by side in the table of elements.
In the case of this glaze the whiting is kind of make the color whiter ( on my buff
colored claybody).
The question is different , Randy, What is this glaze and what do you want it for. If it is
a turquoise glaze, I would think twice, though the calcium might be good too. If the
strontium in this glaze is just a flux, perhaps the creator of the glaze had it on hand?
You can replace it.
If you want you can e mail me the recipe.
To Kat ( with the hat that just now left the hut whom I don't hate): Numbers are good
but should not overrule as.
