A long time ago, I used a recipe for a cone six, oxy glaze, and I've lost
it somehow.
It had about 50% Gerstley borate, about 15% talc, very little EPK, with
the remainder as flint. I think about 10% RIO.
The color was a golden orange, with a mottled texture, resembling mag matt
feel.
Does this ring a bell with any of you? I'd appreciate recovering the
recipe.

Hello Jim,
I agree with Alisa that the glaze you want might be Randy's Red or
Touchstone, but 15RIO is too much for a gold color; you'll get the saturated
iron red. I would mix up a batch of base, and try several amounts of RIO
between 5 and 10%.
With 15% you'll get colors closer to Mel's chinese glazes. (JUST KIDDING!!!)
Good firings,

I didn't see the original post, but if you want a fascinating gold
glaze, try Fake Golden Ash. You get a lovely yellow-brown-gold with lots
of runnels and variegation. I don't have the recipe handy, but it'll be
in the clayart archives.
Best wishes,
Cindy in SD
