I want to make a light pink tone glaze for a project. I was shooting for a
carnation pink (don't ask!)
So I started with the Raspberry from MC6G, which I have used successfully
before. I did a line blend
with the chrome and tin, starting with half the amount in the original
recipe, and stepping down from there.
When I opened the kiln today, I had chrome green test tiles, not a hint of
pink! Should I have left the tin
amount constant, and just done a line blend with the chrome? I plan to test
that theory in the next kiln load,
but I bet one of you glaze guru types knows already :-)

Hi Pam,
Yes, that should work better. Good luck,

Hi John,
Good! So I can use the same test batches, just add the tin back in to a
higher, uniform amount :-) Thanks!

I got my second set of tests out of the kiln last night. Using MC6G's
Raspberry as starting point, and doing a line blend reducing just the chrome
ox (leaving the tin ox amount unchanged), I got a nice pale floral pink with
chrome at 0.0125%
Approximately, anyway, as this was such a tiny amount, I was mixing in 100
gram batches, so I measured 0.1 gram on the beam scale, then used a credit
card to visually divide that tiny amount.
Anyway, I was pleased with the results, and it will be easier to make bigger
batches :-)
