Adding colorants was in the studio
looking at the results: I will have to adjust the surface tension of the glazes.
I will move from Waxy 1 to 2 or 4 (or in the middle) and try again. There is one thing I
learnt from Ian Currie:
I weigh 1000 grams of a glaze.
I add 1000 grams water mix well and pour to 10 jars
1-9 each 200 grams with colorants.
Jar 10 with whatever left in, for clear.
Much easier, even if not precise results, you can try again the best ones.
If you want to add colorants I offer this direction:
ABABI WAXY 4
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Cone 6 1222 deg.C. -
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
SPODUMENE try copper but lower the frit
EPK Kaolin 11.50
FRIT 3110 33.50 try copper but lower the frit
Dolomite 14.00 Try cobalt but lower the frit
ULTROX 10.00
SILICA 7.50
Red Iron Oxide 1.00 can remove the
iron or increase it
Or wait for more results.
