I am having some trouble lately with my Albany Slip brown. It is
running
too much at Cone 9. I had mixed up a new batch and this happened. Now
I
would like it to spread just a little, so have been testing by adding
more
Kaolin. But that takes away the intensity of the color somewhat. Is
there
another stabilizer that might work that anyone might suggest?

Bonnie, I have been experimenting lately with my albany glazes using
Ravenscrag at C/6 oxy in a gas kiln. It turns out dry at that temp so
if you are going higher you might try it as a substitute. Mike Gordon
