Gabriel Tejeda on fri 3 jan 03


I am new to ceramics(one year of experience), I recently got INSIGHT =
5x glazing program and I wonder where I could get more Unity Formula =
Limits or Mole %'s and what do you think of using them? I am restricted =
to cone 02 and in search of the perfect glossy transparent formula for =
colors. If anyone can help me I will really appreciate it.

Here is a cone 02 shiny clear recipe that I made. It works with all =
colors, but it blisters when I use it on tall ceramic pieces that are =
closer to the burners of my oxidation gas kiln. Anybody is welcome to =
suggest what they thing in how to fix this problem. I will try anything =
and will tell you how it went.

Thankyou for your time!

Hello Gabriel
You may noticed that the limit tables of Insight are pretty wide, there is a reason for it.
After all when you test a lot of glazes, bring the tiles to the computer and check , after
a while you know the limits. I use lately Matrix there are more details on the limits but I
have learnt the limits of my kiln at ^6. and usually follow my knowledge rather than the
limits.
I am not using a gas kiln so I am not sure I can advise you, exactly what to do.
Back to the "wide limits"
Try ^04 and ^03 glazes. Some of my 04 glazes are working good up to ^6 ( I am not
working higher so I cannot tell you about higher cone result.
I am offering you here a glaze that in 05 is a magical beauty.
At 04 it is less beautiful. I will offer it to you as clear, Because of the high alumina, I
believe it will fire nice at ^02.

Hi Gabriel,

There is no lead or zinc in your glaze so I have to conclude that it is an
over firing problem - from being to close to the burners. Keep them away or
put something in front of the ware to protect from the burner flame - and
make sure you air is adjusted to give as much air as possible consistant
with a rise in temperature. If your clay is darker - (not white) there is a
chance that it it is getting reduced - that may cause it to over fire and
cause the blistering.
